The dashboard widgets are frosted but flat, so they float weightlessly on the background. Give them a bit more presence: - A soft drop shadow plus a hairline edge lift each card off the background. Both use theme tokens (--color-box-shadow-rgb, --color-border), so they adapt to light/dark automatically. - The board eases in once the widgets appear. It is triggered on `.panels:has(.panel)` rather than on mount, so it plays only when the widgets are actually present and cannot replay when the widget list re-renders. - Cards lift gently on hover. The hover transform and the transition are disabled while SortableJS is dragging a card, so reordering is unaffected. - All motion is disabled under prefers-reduced-motion (the elevation stays).

Summary
The dashboard widgets are frosted but flat — they float a little weightlessly on the background. This adds some depth and life without changing the layout or behaviour.
--color-box-shadow-rgb,--color-border), so the effect adapts to light/dark and high-contrast automatically..panels:has(.panel)rather than on mount, so it plays only when the widgets are actually present (the container is created empty and filled slightly later) and can't replay when the widget list re-renders.translateY(-4px)) with a smooth, symmetric ease.prefers-reduced-motionthe movement (entrance + hover translate) is disabled; the elevation stays.Drag & drop
The
.panelis drag-sortable (SortableJS via vuedraggable). To avoid interfering with reordering, the hover transform is excluded on.sortable-chosen/.sortable-ghost/.sortable-drag, and the transition is switched off in those states so SortableJS drives the card unimpeded.Notes
