# hasShadow

A Boolean value that indicates whether the window has a shadow.

## Declaration

```swift
var hasShadow: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The value of this property is true when the window has a shadow; otherwise, false. If you change the value of this property, the window shadow is invalidated, forcing the window shadow to be recomputed.
