You can add a drop shadow or depth shadow to text and objects.

A drop shadow is offset from the title itself, as though cast by a light source. A depth shadow extends from the edges of the title, as though the title were three-dimensional.

You can select the color, width, direction, and transparency for the shadow. You can also soften (blur) shadows or create a glow effect behind title text. You can place the shadow anywhere within the title without restriction.
