How to add a shadow

[theparentpack]

I am curious...does anyone know how I can add a shadow around my forum much like the shadow shown here?

My guess is with the css shadow attribute... check it out here:

Ok, I am fairly green regarding coding. I can hold my own with instruction so here goes... Where would I place the coding mentioned? Thanks for taking the time to assist me.

In Style Manager -> All Style Options there is a box near the bottom "Additional CSS" or something like that... add this code:


.page {
-moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px #000;
-webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px #000;
box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px #000;
}


page is the element name you want to put the shadow around... the original link explains the numbers, play with the numbers to get the effect you want.

This didn't work when I added it. Nothing changed.

The code above was for VB 3.x.

For VB 4.x add this code to the additional.css template:

.body_wrapper {
-moz-box-shadow: 4px 4px 5px #c0c0c0;
-webkit-box-shadow: 4px 4px 5px #c0c0c0;
box-shadow: 4px 4px 5px #c0c0c0;
}

One way to find out.

.body_wrapper {
-moz-box-shadow: 4px 4px 5px #c0c0c0;
-webkit-box-shadow: 4px 4px 5px #c0c0c0;
box-shadow: 4px 4px 5px #c0c0c0;
}

this code is not working with me. 4.2.0 :(

It continues to work for me. Maybe change the color.
May need to delete browser history and vb Clear System Cache before you see it. :)

color changed, and cache cleared, but still nothing...

If you have a custom style- all bets are off- no way of knowing how it was written.
