How Do I Add a Shadow to Review Cards on My Carousel Widget in Feedspace?

Last updated on September 16, 2026

Overview

The Carousel widget displays your review cards in a horizontal sliding layout, showing one or a few cards at a time as they loop continuously across the screen. Because each card is presented individually and in close focus, visual depth plays an important role in how polished the widget looks on your page.

The Show Review Card Shadow toggle, found in the Widget Color Customization section of the Design tab, lets you add a drop shadow beneath each review card in the Carousel. When enabled, you can choose a Shadow Style (Blurred or Solid), a Shadow Size (Small, Medium, Large, or X-Large), and a Shadow Color using the color picker. Together these controls let you match the shadow to your brand palette and give each sliding card a sense of lift that draws visitor attention as the carousel animates.

How to add a shadow to review cards on your Carousel widget

Step 1: Open the Widgets section

Log in to your Feedspace account. In the left navigation panel, click Widgets to open your list of saved widgets.

Step 2: Open your Carousel widget

Find the Carousel widget you want to update. Click the Edit icon (pencil) next to that widget to open the widget editor.

Step 3: Go to the Design tab

Inside the widget editor, click the Design tab at the top of the panel. This tab contains all visual customization options for your Carousel widget, including layout, colors, and card styling controls.

Step 4: Find Widget Color Customization

Scroll down within the Design tab until you reach the Widget Color Customization section. This section groups all color and shadow options that apply to the individual review cards displayed in your Carousel.

Step 5: Turn on Show Review Card Shadow

Locate the Show Review Card Shadow toggle and switch it on. Three additional controls will appear beneath it:

  • Shadow Style, where you choose Blurred for a soft, diffused shadow or Solid for a sharp, hard-edged shadow.
  • Shadow Size, which lets you select Small, Medium, Large, or X-Large to control how far the shadow extends from the card edge.
  • Shadow Color, where you use the color picker to set a shadow color that complements your brand or page background.

Adjust each sub-option until the shadow looks right for your design. The preview panel will update as you make changes.

Step 6: Save your changes

Once you are happy with the shadow settings, click Save & Next to apply the changes. The widget picks the change up wherever it is already embedded, so there is no need to paste the embed code again.

Common questions

Can I use a shadow and a border at the same time?

Yes. Show Review Card Border and Show Review Card Shadow are separate toggles in the same section, so a card can carry both an outline and a lift.
