Hi there,
i would like to use this box shadow on a container that contains grids:

I have set the outer z-index of the main container to 1, and the inner z-index to 2. No matter what I try, the shadow is always on top of the main container. Please have a look at the screenshot:

No matter what I try, the shadow is always on the main container and not under it.
Is there a possibility? What would you recommend me?
I also use Generateblocks pro, but so far have not found a way to implement such a shadow.
Thank you very much and best regards.
Hi Dieter,
Any chance you can link us to the site in question and point us to where we should be looking at?
You can use the private information field.

Let me know :)
Hi Ying,
i have added private data - thanks for looking!
Hi Dieter,
Can you try removing the z-index: 1 code added in gb-container-ae4ab4ef?
Then, add this CSS:
.content-area article div.inside-article {
position:relative;
z-index:-2;
}
This is how it looks upon testing from my end: https://share.getcloudapp.com/X6u8pyXp
Kindly let us know how it goes. :)
