I have a few SVG objects in a group. It is a curve with an "X" in the middle of it. I would like to make it look a little nicer and have a drop shadow behind it. I know I can't just CSS and will have to use a filter.
The problem I'm having is getting this drop shadow to be a circle since I believe the path was made as a square. I thought about overlaying an ellipse and just making the fill none, but I wanted to know if there is a better way.

The problem is that your filter begins at 0,0: <filter id="f1" x="0" y="0">and your crossed circle at -11.88/-11.88, and your shadow gets clipped.

I'd like to add a border to a number of elements which are grouped by <g>. As an example:
<g id="group">
<circle cx="125" cy="125" r="65" fill="orange" />
<line x1="50" y1="50" x2="200" y2="200" stroke="blue" stroke-width="4" />
</g>
Best case, the border should look like in the following picture. The distance between the elements and the border is not required (but nice to have). The main goal should be a single border (stroke) around the group elements.
I found the picture in a tutorial, but there it was just to demonstrate what a group of elements may look like. So this doesn't help.
I already tried different solutions, but none of them worked as expected, e.g.
A SVG filter using feColorMatrix and feMorphology (see this post). But in this case, the color of the elements changes when applying the filter.
Styling the <g> with stroke and stroke-width results in a rectangular border around the group, which is also not the thing I want.
Any ideas, how to get a border around the group as shown in the picture?
It would be difficult to get the dashed stroke shown in the image you provided. But a solid outline should be possible. Here's an example:
<svg width="250" height="250" viewBox="0 0 250 250">
<defs>
<filter id="groupborder" filterUnits="userSpaceOnUse"
x="0" y="0" width="250" height="250">
<feMorphology operator="dilate" in="SourceAlpha"
radius="8" result="e1" />
<feMorphology operator="dilate" in="SourceAlpha"
radius="10" result="e2" />
<feComposite in="e1" in2="e2" operator="xor"
result="outline"/>
<feColorMatrix type="matrix" in="outline"
values="1 0 0 0 0
0 1 0 0 0
0 0 1 0 0
0 0 0 .3 0" result="outline2"/>
<feComposite in="outline2" in2="SourceGraphic"
operator="over" result="output"/>
</filter>
</defs>
<g id="group" filter="url(#groupborder)">
<circle cx="125" cy="125" r="65" fill="orange" />
<line x1="50" y1="50" x2="200" y2="200" stroke="blue" stroke-width="4" />
</g>
</svg>
Here's how it works:
<feMorphology operator="dilate" in="SourceAlpha" radius="8" result="e1" />
Uses a dilate operation to fatten up the graphic elements. By using the source alpha as the input image, this results in black regions corresponding to the graphic elements in the image, and white everywhere else.
<feMorphology operator="dilate" in="SourceAlpha" radius="10" result="e2" />
The same filter again, but with a larger amount of dilation, resulting in a slightly fatter image
<feComposite in="e1" in2="e2" operator="xor" result="outline"/>
These dilated results are combined using an XOR operation that leaves behind a black outline.
<feColorMatrix type="matrix" in="outline"
values="1 0 0 0 0
0 1 0 0 0
0 0 1 0 0
0 0 0 .3 0" result="outline2"/>
This filter multiplies the alpha component of the outline by 0.3 so it appears grey instead of solid black.
<feComposite in="outline2" in2="SourceGraphic" operator="over" result="output"/>
Finally, add this outline to the original image.
I'm having some problems when I imported my svg image as a background in css, it seems like one of the mountains in my background have this small transparent lines. But for some reason it only appears in Chrome but not FireFox.
Thanks.

This is a drawing bug in webkit/Chrome that seems to be triggered by the repeated use of feOffset to layer content more than 3 layers deep. If you resize the iframe in the jsfiddle, you'll see that the thin lines stay fixed relative to the parent window, not the content - so it seems to be a low level bug. Based on my experiments, any shape that is 4 or more layers deep gets the drawing artifact.
Easiest way to fix is to define your shape once in defs and utilize multiple use elements to place and color them.
I've filed bug#660745 with Chrome.
(That said - your filters have badly specified primitives (no stdDeviation for the (unused) GaussianBlur, no filter dimensions, no mode for the feBlend) that you should fix. These are better specified versions of your filters.)

The feTurbulence filter is used to create clouds. By animating frequency value, generated clouds are zoomed in or out. I want them to slide from right to left.

If you look closely, after 5 seconds animation repeats itself, as should! but it does not look so pretty.
I know this filter is used to create realistic, cloud-like structures. How do we go about moving these clouds continuously ?
feTurbulence filter takes in parameters like randomSeed numberOfOctaves and baseFrequency.
In given example I've animated value of base frequency. Since there is no more attributes to animate.
How to make this animation to appear continuous? Do we use perlin noise generator combined with matrix and displacement maps on this turbulence generated thing and animate all together somehow? (just brainstorming..)
Any help, Ideas, approaches, snippets, sincerely appreciated.
this could be black&white for simplicity, but cloud animation still is not continious. Bonus snippet
Do not animate the base frequency. For a smooth effect use a 360 hueRotate and a colorMatrix (since hueRotate cycles back to the original value).
