UIButton shadow not looking right
core-graphics, ios, iphone, objective-c
Solution
`clipsToBounds` will allow any child views to be drawn outside the bounds of your button.
Looks like it doesn't apply to your layer though :(
You might just have to make your button a bit bigger (or your shadow smaller!)
Problem
I'm trying to add a shadow to a UIButton layer, but for some reason it cuts off at the bounds of the button. I set clipsToBounds is turned off, so I'm not sure why it's looking like this: It's square, just like that, even though the shadow should not be squared..it should be soft and fading. ``` button.clipsToBounds = NO; button.layer.masksToBounds = NO; button.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeZero; button.layer.shadowPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRect:button.layer.bounds].CGPath; button.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.7; button.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor; button.layer.shadowRadius = 10; ``` Am I missing anything? Oh, and my button is a subclass of UIButton. I'm not sure if that makes a difference.. -Even with a shadowRadius of 0.0, I get a fully visible black square as my shadow
