Text Shadow

QUICK GUIDE

Layer order changes the result

Each shadow uses horizontal offset, vertical offset, blur radius, and color.

The first shadow in the list is painted on top of later shadows.

Small blur values create crisp depth; larger values spread a softer glow.

Text-shadow changes visual rendering without changing the element's box model.

FAQ

Can I use more than one shadow?

Yes. CSS accepts a comma-separated list. TextShadowBox gives you two layers for depth, glow, or offset color effects.

Why does the first layer appear on top?

CSS paints the first specified shadow above later shadows, so order matters when colors overlap.

Does text-shadow affect layout?

No. It changes the text's appearance and does not reserve extra layout space for the shadow.
