    Is there a simple way in CSS to add a drop shadow around the outer edge of the Metro layout? In other words, around the outer white area, with the shadow overlaid on top of the custom background image?

    Thanks!

    Hi,
    This gives quite a nice shadow on that layout. ๐Ÿ™‚ This goes in your style.css. Appearance.... Edit.

    .site-container {
      box-shadow: 0 9px 9px #888888;
    }
    

    You could play with the color and dimensions if desired.

    So nice and easy! I used to have to carve up images to do this, it's SO much better now!
