[ARCHIVED] Removing "Body Shadow" from Theme

[jlgathright]

I have searched EVERYWHERE for this answer and cannot seem to find a solution. 

My district needs all the real estate we can get for our login screen. Is there any way to remove the "Body Shadow" from a Theme in the Canvas Theme Editor?

[jlgathright · Accepted solution]

No. I am guessing it is a custom job that costs money. Seems so simple though! 

Thanks for following up with me!

Hi jlgathright

The Theme editor in Canvas is  modifiable, but I have no idea to what extent. We plugged in our theme, and walked away.

However, the folks in Canvas Developers‌ have that expertise, and I will share your question with them.

Hi Julie - Were you able to find a solution as you looked to customize your Theme Editor?

I was having the same issue but with some persistence and a bit of luck I discovered that if you simply enter in the the word "transparent"  in the field where the colour value (i.e #ffffff) is stored for the Body Shadow it will not display.

Transparent is a valid value in the CSS and therefore it translates form the user interface correctly (i.e. --ic-brand-Login-body-bgd-shadow-color: transparent;) with no need for development or modifying the theme CSS.

FANTASTIC!!!! Thanks, Keith! That worked perfectly. I was siting here trying all the tricks I could think of and the word transparent without the "#" worked!! Yay! https://charlescounty.instructure.com/login/canvas
