Just a quick couple things on the aesthetics, and I'll be pushing up a PR for some code refactoring

This is the one that feels a little overkill to me. It's called slight but has 4 layers with the largest being 18px long. When I audit for usages of euiSlightShadow(), I get:

  1. EuiButton/EuiButtonGroup: EUI only. Amsterdam removes the shadow
  2. EuiKeyPadMenuItem: Component itself hasn't been altered for Amsterdam yet and is still using the border style panel
  3. EuiStepHorizontal: With the color altered to blue, it's hardly visible at all and could probably just be removed
  4. form/euiCustomControl: These are all the form elements like checkboxes, radios, and radio style handles for sliders. These are all roughly 16x16 components, pretty small, so it's odd to have such a large shadow.

I'd suggest keeping the slight shadow very slight. It's possible once all those above components have been touched we may have no need for it at all.

Good points. I'll clean that up.

👍 LGTM! Shadows are really nice on things like cards and such.
