Hi @xmanairzz

To add a drop shadow to the header:

  • Select Edit Site Header on your page
  • Select Style and then Drop Shadow

To add a drop shadow to the folder container, add borders and highlighted rows as you described add this to Custom CSS

/*Adds box shadow to folder container*/
.header-nav .header-nav-item--folder .header-nav-folder-content{
  padding:0;
  box-shadow: 5px 20px 40px 7px #888888;
}

/*Adds bottom border to folder items*/
.header-nav .header-nav-item--folder .header-nav-folder-content .header-nav-folder-item {
    padding: 10px 15px;
	border-bottom:1px solid #fff;
}

.header-nav .header-nav-item--folder .header-nav-folder-content .header-nav-folder-item:last-child{
  border-bottom:0px;
}

/*Adds background color to folder items*/
.header-nav .header-nav-item--folder .header-nav-folder-content .header-nav-folder-item:hover {
    background-color:#7c9391;
}

Here is information on the box shadow property so you can set the values to create the shadow effect you want.

Great! Thank you so much. Is there a way to make the whole box in the nav dropdown interactive rather than just the words?

Can you provide a bit more detail please? What do you mean by interactive and which "box" are you referring too. Thanks.
