Welcome to Meta @darkpixlz 👋

If you’re talking about the dark overlay behind the modal, you can hide it with something like this

```css
.modal-backdrop.in {
  display: none;
}

```

If you’re talking about the shadow behind the modal, you can remove it with something like this

```css
.modal-inner-container {
  box-shadow: none;
}

```
