The Box Shadow Control in ABC is an artful feature that allows for nuanced shadow effects on your Gutenberg blocks. With its intuitive interface, it empowers you to add dimensionality and focus to your content, bringing a sense of depth to your website’s design.

Presets for Quick Styling:

• ABC includes a suite of six preset shadow styles that can be instantly applied to your blocks. These presets range from subtle to pronounced, each designed to offer a distinct visual statement — from a gentle lift to a dramatic drop shadow.

Customizable Shadows for Precision Design:

• Beyond presets, the Box Shadow Control allows for the creation of up to three individual shadow effects on a single block. This advanced customization enables designers to layer multiple shadows, adjusting each one’s properties for a composite effect that can simulate various light sources and depths.

Custom Shadow Settings:

• X (Horizontal) and Y (Vertical) Offsets: Position the shadow to simulate the direction of light, giving you control over the shadow’s horizontal and vertical displacement.
• Blur Radius (B): Manipulate the blur radius to adjust the shadow’s edge, making it as sharp or as diffused as needed to fit your design vision.
• Spread (S): Expand or contract the shadow’s size, which can make a block appear to float more prominently or be subtly inset.
• Color: Select a shadow color that aligns with your block’s color scheme, enhancing cohesion or creating striking contrast.
• Inset Switch: Choose between an outer shadow for a sense of elevation or an inner shadow for a depth effect within the block.

Design Flexibility with Hover States:

• Each shadow setting can also be configured to change upon hover, introducing dynamic interaction as users navigate your site. This can be a powerful tool to signal clickable elements or to animate your content’s behavior as it responds to user engagement.

With the Box Shadow Control, you can visually lift blocks off the page or set them back into the background, playing with user perception and enhancing the overall user experience. Whether it’s a subtle touch or a dramatic effect, the shadows you create with ABC will enrich the visual storytelling of your site.
