+#### `workspace-shadow`
+
+Control the shadow behind workspaces visible in the overview.
+
+Settings here mirror the normal [`shadow` config in the layout section](./Configuration:-Layout.md#shadow), so check the documentation there.
+
+Keep in mind that workspace shadows are configured for the full-screen workspace size, then zoomed out together with the workspace.
+Practically, this means that you'll want bigger spread, offset, and softness compared to window shadows.
