Effects

Effect types

Effects are applied on top of a layer's fill and stroke. Lovision supports the following effect types:

Drop shadow — casts a shadow behind the layer. Set color, opacity, X/Y offset, and blur radius.
Inner shadow — draws a shadow inside the layer boundary. Uses the same controls as drop shadow.
Layer blur — blurs the layer itself. Set the blur radius.
Background blur — blurs the content behind the layer, creating a frosted-glass feel. Requires the layer to be semi-transparent.
Noise — adds a grain texture overlay. Control intensity and grain size.
Glass — a preset combination of background blur and subtle fill that creates a polished glass panel effect.

Select a layer that supports effects.
Open the Effects section in the right inspector.
Click + and choose an effect type from the menu.
Adjust the effect parameters that appear below it.
Click the visibility toggle next to an effect to disable it without deleting it.
Drag effects in the list to reorder them — order affects the final render.
Click the × button to remove an effect.

Drop shadows work best with a low blur radius and a small offset for a grounded look. Increase both for a floating card style.
Background blur requires the layer fill to have some transparency, otherwise the blur is hidden behind the fill.
Stacking a drop shadow with a small noise effect can add tactile depth to cards and buttons.
Disable an effect to compare before and after — this is faster than deleting and re-adding it.
