    Question Web Page Shadow

    I designed a web page and the background is white. I want to keep it this way, but the webpage has a shadow on the right hand side and bottom and it's making it look dumb. How do I remove the page's shadow?

    Hi Cristian,
    Right mouse click Go to Page options:
    un-hook show page shadow.

    How do I do it in WD 7 Premium... right click doesn't have that option.... I'm feeling dumb because I know I have done it before now.

    edit... just had a look and find that I've built this site as a 'presentation'... need to find some way to put that right !

    Utilities - Options - Page Size Tab
    or
    Shift+Ctrl+O and Page Size Tab

    Thanks Drwyd
    It gets curiouser and curiouser... I had found the page size tab and if I start a new web page then I can lose the shadow.

    That's fine but the site in question has that option greyed out. I can't replicate this from scratch so am confused.. I have started a new page site with all the options under 'New' and they all offer the box with the check mark. The only exception is 'Blank photo' which is greyed out but doesn't have the check mark.

    however I have rid the site of the offending shadow by making that layer in the Pages and Layer Gallery invisible.
    Any ideas what could make it greyed out; even though it is now academic I am interested to know how I have offended this normally nice programme.

    It's possibly because the site was set up as a Presentation which does not have a default page shadow?

    I cannot reproduce this behaviour in XDPX so it's just a theory.
    If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.

    If a colour has been applied to the page then a layer will be created for it in the "Page and Layer Gallery" called "Page Background". Clicking on the red padlock beside that layer will unlock it and allow you to remove the shadow with the shadow tool [Ctrl+F2]

    I think frightful is using WD 7 which does not let you lock or unlock a layer (at least not that I could see). This is possible with WD MX and Designer Pro 7 and Designer Pro X.

    I am using WD 7 Premium.
    I know the various versions are confusing so perhaps this image helps. It seems that whatever I do about locking/unlocking, viewing,hiding... the greyed out check mark is permanent. The website is produced as a web site this time.
    Thanks guys.
