Shadows
Shadow utilities add or remove box shadows: shadow-sm for subtle depth, shadow for regular elevation and shadow-lg for floating elements, while shadow-none removes a component's default shadow. Use stronger shadows for elements that sit above others, such as menus, dialogs and floating buttons.
