When you say “elevate”, are you wanting it to look as though a graphic element is above another or are you referring to something else?
Something like this? [How to Create an Overlap effect in Thunkable](https://community.thunkable.com/t/how-to-create-an-overlap-effect-in-thunkable/106202)
The screenshot you posted doesn’t really give me an idea of what you’re wanting to do.

Border will not appear, because of black background. Floating effect will not be visible with black background. If you see the corners it appears to be elevated.

Which element are you referring to? You posted a screenshot with about a dozen elements and I don’t know which part you want raised.
