With CSS you can add shadow to text and to elements.
In these chapters you will learn about the following properties:
text-shadow
box-shadow
The CSS text-shadow property applies shadow to text.
In its simplest use, you only specify the horizontal shadow (2px) and the vertical shadow (2px):
h1 { text-shadow: 2px 2px; }
Next, add a color to the shadow:
h1 { text-shadow: 2px 2px red; }
Then, add a blur effect to the shadow:
h1 { text-shadow: 2px 2px 5px red; }
The following example shows a white text with black shadow:
h1 { color: white; text-shadow: 2px 2px 4px #000000; }
The following example shows a red neon glow shadow:
h1 { text-shadow: 0 0 3px #FF0000; }
To add more than one shadow to the text, you can add a comma-separated list of shadows.
The following example shows a red and blue neon glow shadow:
h1 { text-shadow: 0 0 3px #FF0000, 0 0 5px #0000FF; }
The following example shows a white text with black, blue, and darkblue shadow:
h1 { color: white; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black, 0 0 25px blue, 0 0 5px darkblue; }
You can also use the text-shadow property to create a plain border around some text (without shadows):
h1 { color: yellow; text-shadow: -1px 0 black, 0 1px black, 1px 0 black, 0 -1px black; }
