auto_awesome The Art of Layered Shadows
Realistic shadows in the physical world are rarely a single dark blur. They are composed of multiple levels of light diffusion. By stacking 2-3 layers—one for the core contact shadow and another for the larger ambient glow—you can create much more "premium" and natural-looking UI elements that feel truly integrated into the page.
