QML - DropShadow blurring text & img

Question

I'm trying to apply a DropShadow effect into my Rectangle. After I did it, text and icon inside are getting blurred. Any idea how to fix it?

import VPlayApps 1.0
import QtQuick 2.9
import QtGraphicalEffects 1.0
import QtQuick.Controls 2.2

App {    
    Rectangle {
        id: buttonOverview
        width: app.width * 0.12
        height: buttonQuit.width
        color: "#439fd0"
        radius: 3
        anchors.left: parent.left
        anchors.leftMargin: app.width * 0.034
        gradient: Gradient {
            GradientStop {
                position: 0
                color: "#48a4d5"
            }

            GradientStop {
                position: 1
                color: "#01618c"
            }
        }
        AppImage {
            id: appImage
            width: 44
            height: 43
            anchors.bottom: spacerProjectOverview.top
            anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
            source: "../../../WinCan/Icons/projectOverview.png"
            fillMode: Image.PreserveAspectFit
        }

        Text {
            id: textOverview
            color: "#ffffff"
            text: qsTr("Project\nOverview")
            anchors.topMargin: 5
            anchors.top: spacerProjectOverview.bottom
            anchors.bottomMargin: parent.height * 0.18
            anchors.bottom: parent.bottom
            font.bold: true
            horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignHCenter
            anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
            font.pixelSize: 14
        }

        MouseArea {
            anchors.fill: parent
            onClicked: {
                buttonQuit.opacity = 0
            }
        }

        Rectangle {
            id: spacerProjectOverview
            width: parent.width
            height: parent.height * 0.05
            color: "transparent"
            anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
        }


        anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
    }

    DropShadow {
    anchors.fill: buttonOverview
    horizontalOffset: 1
    verticalOffset: 6
    radius: 5
    samples: 5
    source: buttonOverview
    color: "black"

    }
}

Expected : Getting shadow and nice looking text and icons Actual : Getting shadow but text and icons are blurry

Your DropShadow is being applied to buttonOverview components area and as it is defined below the buttonOverview it will be positioned on top of it. If i am understanding your requirements you should move the DropShadow above the buttonOverview Rectangle component.
