Hi

I would like to add a shadow around the tab body content/the whole tab, but can’t seem to find where to add it. Where does Tab take from in the article style?

Hi @Martin_Juhler, not that this help, but I would have expected it to be here, but it does not appear to take effect for the Tabs component:

This works on other components using the same Article style, so I guess tabs cannot have a drop shadow.

Barry’s right, it’s not currently possible unfortunately - you could add a drop shadow to the component as a whole (Theme \> Component \> Component Box Shadow) but not the individual tabs.
