Inconsistent alert dialog / sheet shadow

[hitblast]

Description

On the latest Flutter stable version, the sheets / alert dialogs behave weirdly and only show their shadow color for light mode.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Make sure the Flutter version is set to 3.27.0
2. Run the example project pre-included with the library using the following commands:

   cd example && flutter run

Expected behavior

The color should change depending on the appearance / theme mode of the application.

What I find interesting is that the main window gets brighter when the alert dialog is shown. Shouldn’t it get darker in dark mode?

Yeah, it should get darker with the shadow.

Whats the status on this project? is it dead? I'm seeing alot of unanswered tasks and milestones from 2023 which have still not been started on etc. Anyone knows? Sorry for hijacking thread, dont want to start a bug report on this

@frankbolviken It’s alive, but maintained during our (mine, @GroovinChip’s, and I believe @whiplashoo’s) free time. Unfortunately, it’s quite limited in all of our cases, though PRs are always welcome.

I’ll try to set aside some time for it (and for macos_window_utils) during the Christmas holidays, though.

Nice! Really like it so would be said to see it go.

To be frank, I’m not entirely sure what you mean by “shadow color,” as the sheets don’t have any shadow in the first place. I will investigate why the window gets brighter rather than darker, though.

Exactly the issue which I'm trying to describe. Sorry if the description was a bit vague.

Alright, no worries. I’m on it. :)

I forgot to fix the issue for showMacosSheet (I only did it for showMacosAlertDialog). I’ll reopen it for now.

EDIT: Fixed in #543, closing.
