    Thanks for the input and sharing your feedback here, everyone.

    We know many of you asked for widget borders to help separate information. As a first step, we’ve subtly darkened the homepage background to increase contrast and make the widget boundaries clearer.

    We’d love to know if this change has made the information easier for you to scan and consume. Please do let us know here 🙏🏻

    Adding subtle shadows or borders to cards/widgets really helps create visual hierarchy and improves scannability, especially on dashboards or overview pages. A soft shadow usually feels more modern, while borders work better for cleaner, minimal layouts. It’s similar to how mobile games use UI depth to separate menus from gameplay good visual cues improve usability without overwhelming the user. I recently saw this applied well on a gaming page like https://getshadowfight2apk.com/, where content sections are clearly separated but still feel cohesive. Small design tweaks like this can make a big difference in user experience.
