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

Overview

The Strip Slider widget displays your review cards in a compact horizontal strip that scrolls continuously across the page. Because the cards sit edge to edge in a flowing ribbon, adding depth to each card helps visitors instantly distinguish one review from the next as the strip moves. The Show Review Card Shadow toggle in the Widget Color Customization section lets you place a drop shadow behind every card in the strip. Once enabled, you can choose between a Blurred shadow (soft, diffused edges) or a Solid shadow (hard, flat edges), pick the shadow size from Small, Medium, Large, or X-Large, and set the exact shadow color with a color picker. Together, these controls let you create a subtle lift effect that guides the eye along the scrolling strip and reinforces your brand’s visual style without overwhelming the compact layout.

How to Add a Shadow to Review Cards on Your Strip Slider Widget

Step 1: Open the Widgets Section

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

Step 2: Edit Your Strip Slider Widget

Locate your Strip Slider widget in the list. Click the Edit icon next to it 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 Strip Slider widget, including the Widget Color Customization section.

Step 4: Enable the Show Review Card Shadow Toggle

Scroll down within the Design tab to find the Widget Color Customization section. Locate the Show Review Card Shadow toggle and switch it on. The shadow sub-options will appear immediately below the toggle once it is enabled.

Step 5: Choose Your Shadow Style

Under Shadow Style, select either Blurred for a soft, diffused shadow that fades at the edges, or Solid for a sharp, flat shadow with a defined edge. Blurred shadows tend to feel lighter and more modern, while Solid shadows create a bold, graphic look suited to high-contrast designs.

Step 6: Set the Shadow Size

Under Shadow Size, choose from Small, Medium, Large, or X-Large. For the Strip Slider’s compact card layout, Small or Medium sizes typically produce a clean lift effect without making the shadow spill beyond the card boundaries as the strip scrolls.

Step 7: Pick the Shadow Color

Click the Shadow Color color picker to open the color selector. Choose any color that complements your brand palette. A neutral dark color at low opacity works well for most backgrounds, while a branded color can make the scrolling strip feel more intentional and cohesive.

Step 8: Save and Preview

Once you are satisfied with the shadow settings, click Save to apply the changes. Use the preview panel to confirm that the shadow appears correctly on the scrolling review cards in your Strip Slider widget before embedding it on your site.

What You Can Do Next

• Add a border to your Strip Slider review cards to pair with the shadow and give each card a fully defined frame as it scrolls across the page.
• Adjust the Strip Slider scroll speed and direction in the Design tab to ensure the shadow effect looks smooth and intentional at your chosen animation pace.
• Copy the updated embed code from the widget editor and replace the existing snippet on your website so visitors see the new shadow styling right away.
• Explore other Widget Color Customization options such as card background color and text color to build a consistent visual theme across all the cards in your Strip Slider.
