Summary0003834: Drop Shadow Effect Colour isn't using sRGB
Description

The drop shadow effect colour isn't using sRGB, where as most other places in Studio are - such as TextBlock stroke/foreground/background.

I dunno if this is on purpose? But it would be useful if it was at least an option.

We wanted to test using a matching colour drop shadow on some text, but it's difficult with the colour difference.

It's like that in Studio, as well as in Noesis GUI in Unreal.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Create a project
  2. Add a TextBlock
  3. Give the TextBlock a Foreground or Stoke colour that's in the middle of the colour band (e.g. this green #FF45FF00)
  4. Add a Drop Shadow Effect
  5. Give the Drop Shadow Effect the same colour.

Notice they are different colours.

We have this comment in code:



/// We don't really know why WPF converts shadow color to linear space, and it seems confusing to

/// other users too (https://stackoverflow.com/a/45813934). Anyway, we are going to do the same

/// conversion by default to match the results in Blend editor.

#define SHADOWCOLOR_TO_LINEAR 1

So this seems to be like that for compatibility with Blend, but I think that you are right and we should remove this hack.
