Guide

ComposeAdvancedShadow gives you a custom Modifier named advancedShadow. It has following params:

Param	Description
color	Color of the shadow
borderRadius	Border radius for rounded layout
blurRadius	Amount of shadow blur
offsetY	Set offsetY of shadow
offsetX	Set offsetX of shadow
spread	Amount of shadow spread
alpha	Shadow Color Alpha. Its recommended to use alpha for better shadows

Use Modifier.advancedShadow(...) inside a layout with View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE enabled to prevent render issues in api < 28. For that you can use AdvancedShadowContainer or just set it manualy in your layout
