Support for Transparent, Shadowless Panels in Zoho Creator Pages

Hi Zoho Creator Team,

Hope you're doing well.

We would like to request more design flexibility in Zoho Creator, specifically the ability to create panels with no background, border, or shadow.

Use Case:

In our app, we’re designing a dashboard that uses a combination of flat, minimalistic panels and styled panels with borders/shadows. This kind of clean, unboxed layout is essential for titles, labels, or lightweight display elements that shouldn’t be wrapped in a card-style panel.

You can see this example - notice the places with text such as "Hi John Doe!" - there is no background color nor there is any borders and / or shadows:




Current Limitation:

At the moment, even when setting a panel’s background to “No Fill”, it still defaults to white and retains a border/shadow. This makes it impossible to achieve a flat layout in specific areas of the page while maintaining styled panels elsewhere.

Requested Feature:

  • Add a true “transparent” background option for panels that does not default to white.

  • Option to fully remove shadows and borders from individual panels.

This would allow mixing styled and flat UI elements on the same page for more versatile designs.

Thank you for considering this!
Let us know if you'd like us to share a sample or walk through our use case further.

Best regards,
Ram
