# Elevation Why the app is flat, and what separates a floating surface instead. > Part of the [Konjo design language](../konjo-design-language.md). The laws in the spine apply here unless this chapter contradicts them. There is none. Page content is flat (L3). Floating surfaces — bottom sheet, toast, menu, lightbox — separate with **the scrim already behind them plus a 1px hairline**, not a shadow. The six existing shadow/elevation declarations in `src/` are law violations and should be removed as they are touched. ---
