Using six basic values, you can create awesome things; on this quick review the author plays a little bit with each property and shows 30 different experiments that prove the great things that you can achieve with box-shadow, though the result can only be visualized in Chrome 11 +.

On the article you will find a complete explanation on the different properties of box-shadow (inset, left, top, blur, size, and color). There’s also a quotation regarding some other properties that were used:

  • :after and :before
  • transition
  • webkit-keyframes
  • text-shadow
  • background-image: gradient

Other points that are discussed on the post include multiple values and cutoff point. Two of the effects that you’re going to find were taken from Nicolas Gallagher and Matt Hamm.
