If a shader is applied to them, or if transparency is changed, the effect is applied to every node individually, given they each do it in their own draw call. Custom shaders can be used with CanvasGroup to also apply effects like drop shadows or glows to a group of objects as a single one, greatly enhancing the flexibility of the 2D engine.
