All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class DropShadowTextEffect
extends TextEffect

Paints a dropshadow behind a text, whereas you are able to specify the shadows inner and outer color.

Activate the shadow text effect by specifying text-effect: drop-shadow; in your polish.css file. You can finetune the effect with following attributes:

• text-drop-shadow-inner-color: the inner color of the shadow, which should be less opaque than the text.
• text-drop-shadow-outer-color: the outer color of the shadow, which should be less than opaque the inner color.
• text-drop-shadow-offsetx:: use this for finetuning the shadow's horizontal position. Negative values move the shadow to the left.
• text-drop-shadow-offsety:: use this for finetuning the shadow's vertical position. Negative values move the shadow to the top.
• text-drop-shadow-size:: use this for finetuning the shadows radius.

Choosing the same inner and outer color and varying the transparency is recommended. Dropshadow just works, if the Text is opaque.
