Changelog · v1.3.0 · 2026-05-08

Drop shadow under the captured window — Limelight 1.3

A soft drop shadow lifts the captured window off the background — a small detail with a big visual impact.

Window shadow adds a soft, realistic drop shadow beneath the captured window in padded exports. The window appears to float above the background, which gives the composition depth and prevents it from looking flat.

The shadow intensity and offset are adjustable in Settings. A subtle shadow blends with almost any background; a stronger one creates a more dramatic floating-window effect popular in product screenshots.

It is enabled by default for padded backgrounds and disabled for transparent exports (since the shadow would be composited separately downstream).
