Creates a shadow similar to box-shadow but based on the colors of the element itself.
position: relative on the element establishes a Cartesian positioning context for psuedo-elements.z-index: 1 establishes a new stacking context.:after defines a pseudo-element.position: absolute takes the pseudo element out of the flow of the document and positions it in relation to the parent.width: 100% and height: 100% sizes the pseudo-element to fill its parent's dimensions, making it equal in size.background: inherit causes the pseudo-element to inherit the linear gradient specified on the element.top: 0.5rem offsets the pseudo-element down slightly from its parent.filter: blur(0.4rem) will blur the pseudo-element to create the appearance of a shadow underneath.opacity: 0.7 makes the pseudo-element partially transparent.z-index: -1 positions the pseudo-element behind the parent but in front of the background.<div class="dynamic-shadow"></div>
.dynamic-shadow { position: relative; width: 10rem; height: 10rem; background: linear-gradient(75deg, #6d78ff, #00ffb8); z-index: 1; } .dynamic-shadow:after { content: ''; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; background: inherit; top: 0.5rem; filter: blur(0.4rem); opacity: 0.7; z-index: -1; }
