Hey @point, thanks for the screenshot. It looks like a button, no?

To make it taller you can increase the top and bottom padding.

Hi, @point! 👋

* * *

Yes.  
Take a button, set it’s radius to desired,  
go to **Advance Tab** ➡ Styling ➡ elevation ➡ set it to **2.5** (it looks better 😉)

* * *

Don’t forget to set the background color of the button to white - after adding elevation, if you do not have white color (or any other solid color other than transparent), the button will look horrible 😅

* * *

# Thanks! 😊

But I want the shade to be around and not just down (except I meant Layout)

Try increasing the elevation.

Plus, are you testing on **Android** / **iOS**?  
Live or Downloaded?

Yeah; That’s what I was experiencing from days 😅

I think Shadow/Elevation doesn’t work on **iOS** … 😕  
Any comments, @domhnallohanlon ?

I will check if you see the shadow after installing the app on the device (on iOS)
