Could this be applied to circular Image()? May be with slight modifications

Why couldn't it be? What kind of modifications do you think it would improve the function?

I suppose you have to disable hardware acceleration for setShadowLayer to work? That's what i have been reading from SO

api <= 28 disable hardware acceleration.Is there another way?

How to do this teach me?
I have trouble with this code on Android 6 emulator. Is not working :(

How to disable any code snippet for Jetpack Compose?

I don't have an answer for now

I found a workaround for circular items on StackOverflow (second answer)

figma has spread attribute for shadows
how can i implement shadows with spread in compose?
by the way thank you
