=== Drop Shadow Boxes === Contributors: stevehenty Tags: drop shadow,box shadow,perspective,raised,curl,lifted Requires at least: 3.0 Tested up to: 3.4.1 Stable tag: 1.2 License: GPLv2 or later License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html Provides an easy way to highlight important content on your posts and pages inside a box with a drop shadow. == Description == Drop Shadow Boxes provides an easy way to highlight important content on your posts, pages and widget areas. Personalise the box with drop shadow effects like raised, lifted and perspective and choose whether the box has an inside shadow, outside shadow and rounded corners. The plugin includes a widget and shortcode builder with a preview so you can test your box before adding it. The shadows will display correctly on most browsers - some older version of Internet Explorer may not display the shadows - but they will display the box with the content so nothing will be missing on the page. Please see the following page for examples to see how it performs on your browser: http://www.stevenhenty.com/products/wordpress-plugins/drop-shadow-boxes/examples/ If you like it please give it a rating ;) = Instructions = The plugin itself doesn't require any configuration. There isn't a setting page. You can access the widget from the Widgets dashboard page - drag, drop and configure as you would any other widget. The shortcode builder allows you to add Drop Shadow Boxes to posts and pages. You can access from the media toolbar while you're editing the post/page by clicking on the box icon next to the upload/insert media button. = Shortcode Reference = If you prefer not to use the shortcode builder, or if you'd like to modify an existing drop shadow box here's the shortcode reference guide.
