is it possible to do non-overlapping shadows? - css

Question

If you put your mouse over the pill-shaped thing, It'll move over the circle (what I want to happen), but the shadow of the circle will remain visible.
I want the shadows to not affect each other, but still be transparent.
body {
background-color: aqua;
}
#circle1, #circle2 {
position: relative;
float: left;
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
border-radius: 25px;
margin-left: 8px;
box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), 0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.19);
z-index: 0;
background-color: white;
}
#pill1, #pill2 {
position: relative;
float: left;
height: 50px;
width: 100px;
border-radius: 25px;
margin-left: 8px;
box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), 0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.19);
z-index: 1;
background-color: white;
}
#pill2 {
box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(180, 180, 180, 1), 0 6px 20px 0 rgba(200, 200, 200, 1);
}
#circle2 {
box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(180, 180, 180, 1), 0 6px 20px 0 rgba(200, 200, 200, 1);
}
#keyframes animation {
0% {right: 0px;}
100% {right: 58px;}
}
#pill1:hover, #pill2:hover {
animation: animation 0.5s linear forwards;
}
<div id="circle1"></div>
<div id="pill1"></div>
<div id="circle2"></div>
<div id="pill2"></div>
I forgot to mention something, it's supposed to be an animation. I put it in here as a transition but it wasn't working. I just fixed it, so it's now an animation.
The one on the right is what I want to happen, but that is max opacity.

You may remove the shadow on hover of the circle and make its z-index higher than the pill to catch its hover state:
body {
background-color: aqua;
}
#circle {
position: relative;
float: left;
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
border-radius: 25px;
margin-left: 8px;
box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), 0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.19);
z-index: 2;
background-color: white;
}
#pill {
position: relative;
float: left;
height: 50px;
width: 100px;
border-radius: 25px;
margin-left: 8px;
box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), 0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.19);
z-index: 1;
background-color: white;
}
#circle:hover + #pill, #pill:hover {
right: 58px;
}
#circle:hover {
box-shadow:none;
}
/*Added this to avoid the issue of hovering only the pill and not the circle*/
#circle:hover::after {
content:"";
position:absolute;
top:0;
bottom:0;
left:0;
width:100px;
}
<div id="circle"></div>
<div id="pill"></div>
UPDATE
By the way you can simplify your code like this:
I also included the transition
body {
background-color: aqua;
}
#circle {
position: relative;
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
border-radius: 25px;
margin-left: 8px;
box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), 0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.19);
background-color: white;
transition:all 0.5s;
}
#circle:before {
content:"";
position: absolute;
top:0;
left:80px;
height: 100%;
width: 100px;
border-radius: 25px;
box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), 0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.19);
background-color: white;
transition:all 0.5s;
}
#circle:hover::before {
left:0;
}
#circle:hover {
box-shadow:none;
}
/*Added this to avoid glitchs*/
#circle:after {
content:"";
position:absolute;
top:0;
bottom:0;
left:0;
width:200px;
}
#keyframes animation {
0% {left: 80px;}
100% {left: 0;}
}
<div id="circle"></div>
