Sizing

Spacing
You can add margins or spacing to this module by typing numerical values.
Margin adds space outside the module, and padding adds space inside the module. To lock in ratios and keep the values the same, click the chainlink icon between the values you want to always be identical (ex, top and bottom).
Default
marginvalues for the module are0.Default
paddingvalues for the module are0.
Border
Add a border to the module. You can add a complete border or a border to only one side of the module. Adjust the width via the range slider and select a color. Choose a border style by clicking the dropdown.
Border Radius – Type in a numerical value if you want round border corners. The higher the number, the rounder the corners will be. The corner values are automatically linked (as seen by the highlighted blue chainlink in the middle); however, if you’d like to have different values for each corner, click the blue chainlink to unlink the values. If the values are automatically linked, they will always have the same value and update automatically if one value is changed.
Border Styles – Add a border to all sides of the module or individual sides (top, right, bottom, and left).
Border Width - Set the width of the border. For a thicker border, increase the number. The border width must be at least 1px to show.
Border Color – Choose the color of the border. You can select a color from your default site color palette that is already displayed or click on the eyedropper icon to find a new color.
Border Style – Select what border style you’d like: solid, dashed, dotted, double, groove, ridge, inset, outset, or none.

Box Shadow Horizontal Position - Defines the horizontal position of the drop shadow.
Box Shadow Vertical Position - Defines the vertical position of the drop shadow.
Box Shadow Blur Strength - Defines the strength of the shadow's blur. The higher the value, the bigger the blur and the wider and lighter the shadow becomes.
Box Shadow Spread Strength - Defines the spread strength of the blur. Increasing the spread strength will increase the density of the box shadow. Higher density results in a more intense shadow.
Shadow Color - Defines the shadow's color.
Box Shadow Position - Defines the shadow's position. It can be inside the module or outside the module.
Animation
Here, you can apply animation to the module. Once you choose a style, you can adjust the following options:

Animation Starting Opacity - Define the starting opacity value.
Animation Speed Curve - Define the easing method of your animation. Easing your animation in and out will create a smoother effect than a linear speed curve.
