Frequently Asked Questions
How do CSS box shadows work?
Box-shadow adds shadow effects to elements using values: horizontal offset, vertical offset, blur radius, spread radius, and color. Multiple shadows can be combined.
What is the difference between blur and spread?
Blur creates a soft, gradual shadow edge. Spread expands or contracts the shadow size. Combine both for realistic shadow effects.
Can I create inner shadows?
Yes, use the "inset" keyword to create shadows inside the element. Inner shadows create depth and indented effects.
How do I layer multiple shadows?
Separate multiple shadows with commas. First shadow appears on top. Layer subtle shadows for realistic, soft lighting effects.
