The layout settings allows you to customize the appearance of your application by adjusting various layout settings.
By opening this first configuration, you will see the following options:
Do you want to hide the background? You can choose to hide or display the webpart background The default setting is “No”. This means that, by default, the webpart is characterized by a white background. If you enable this option, the white card background will be completely removed, allowing the content appear directly on the page. As a result, the webpart will be transparent, showing either the selected background image or the chosen SharePoint page color.
Do you want to hide the background shadow? You can choose whether to show or hide the background shadow. The default setting is “No”. This means that, by default, the webpart is characterized by a subtle depth effect that can make the webpart stand out more against the rest of the page. If you enable this option, the shadow behind the background will be removed, giving the web part a flatter, cleaner look without any depth.
Select the type of background shadow If you decide to set the background shadow, a further configuration will appear and you can select the style from High Contrast, Light, or Dark options.
If you select High contrast, this option creates a strong, bold shadow effect that provides a high level of contrast between the background and the content.
By choosing the Light background shadow, it will create a soft and subtle effect, giving a more delicate and gentle depth to the background.
Finally, the Dark background shadow style provides a darker, more intense effect, adding depth and emphasizing the background even more.
Do you want to hide the title? Here you can select whether to show the webpart title or hide it. If set to visible, the web part title will appear on the left side.
