you can increase the light transmission so that the shadow will get the layer's appearance if that helps, another way would be to duplicate the layer, set it to shadow only, and apply a color effect to it then set light transmission to 100% so it will get its color.

thanks for your response, so I duplicate my "png object" and how do you set "shadow only"?

It's found in the Material Options for the layer. Click Cast Shadows until it says "Only."
