Shadow Color sets the color of the shadow. Click the color chip to access the system color
picker, or use the eyedropper to choose a color from the screen. You can also enter RGB
values into the numerical Þelds associated with the color control and press Return.
Shadow Distance sets the distance between the shadow and the text. Use a small value to
offset the text slightly; use a larger value to create distinct shadows that appear to fall on
another surface.
Shadow Opacity sets the degree of opacity. A value of 100 makes the shadow completely
opaque. Lowering this value makes the shadow increasingly transparent. A value of 0
creates a completely transparent shadow.
Shadow Softness softens the edges of the shadows, emulating the appearance of shadows
cast by a diffuse light source. A value of 0 creates shadows with hard edges. Increasing this
value softens the shadow edges.
Shadow Angle sets the angle between the shadow and the horizontal axis of the text. Drag
the needle around the dial or type a number into the numerical Þeld and press Return.
When Shadow Type is set to Solid shadows, Highlight Color sets the color of the highlighted
areas of the shadow, and Shade Color sets the color of the shaded areas of the shadow.
Click the color chip to access the system color picker, or use the eyedropper to choose a color
