# Reflection Effects

## Content

The **C1Reflector** control comes with a **ReflectionOpacityEffect** effect that you can use to alter the reflection of an item. Setting the **ReflectionOpacityEffect.Coefficient** property will set the coefficient applied to the function that computes the effect's opacity. Setting the **ReflectionOpacityEffect.Offset** property sets the offset applied to the function that computes opacity.

You can also use standard Silverlight effects, such as the **BlurEffect** effect and the **DropShadowEffect** effect, to alter the look of the reflection.The table below shows a sample of each effect.

The C1**Reflector.ReflectionEffects** property can get a collection of effects, which allows you to use more than one effect at a time. If you, for example, wanted to give the illusion that your content was throwing a reflection onto glazed glass rather than clear glass, you could experiment with using both the **BlurEffect** and the **ReflectionOpacityEffect**.
