What is the difference between shadow and shadow-md?
shadow uses a subtle y-offset with no spread; shadow-md increases the blur and y-offset for more visible elevation.
Can I create inset shadows?
Yes — each shadow layer has an inset toggle that applies the CSS inset keyword, creating an inner shadow.
What does the Tailwind config snippet do?
It gives you the code to add a custom boxShadow key to your tailwind.config.js, so you can use it as a class in your templates.
What is shadow-inner used for?
Inset shadows — typically for pressed button states, inner glow effects, or sunken input field styles.
Is this free?
