Updated over a week ago

The Box Shadow design options let you add and customize a shadow effect around the entire module. Shadows can enhance your module's visual appeal by creating depth and highlighting key content.

Where to Find the Box Shadow Options

  1. Open the Module Settings: Click the gear icon or the module itself to access the settings.

  2. Navigate to the Design Tab: Locate the Box Shadow option group.

Box Shadow Customization Settings

  1. Box Shadow Horizontal Position: Adjust the shadow's placement horizontally. Positive values move the shadow to the right, while negative values move it to the left.

  2. Box Shadow Vertical Position: Control the shadow’s vertical placement. Positive values move the shadow downward, and negative values move it upward.

  3. Box Shadow Blur Strength: Define how soft or sharp the shadow appears. Higher values create a wider and softer shadow.

  4. Box Shadow Spread Strength: Adjust the density of the shadow. Increasing the spread makes the shadow darker and more pronounced.

  5. Shadow Color: Select a color for the shadow using your site’s palette or the color picker.

  6. Box Shadow Position: Set the shadow to appear outside or inside the module for different visual effects.

Tips for Using Box Shadow Options

  • Subtle Shadows Work Best: Use light and soft shadows to add depth without overpowering the design.

  • Complement the Module’s Style: Match the shadow's color to your module's background for a natural effect.

  • Experiment with Positioning: Inside shadows can create a recessed look, while outside shadows give the impression of elevation.

The Box Shadow options provide a versatile way to enhance your module’s design, helping you create a sense of dimension and focus in your layouts.
