1text-shadow: 0px 1px 2px #eee;
To apply text-shadow to an HTML element (ie h1) use the standard css syntax: h1 { text-shadow: 0px 1px 2px #eee; }
The css property is called text-shadow and from left to right the values are as follows: – 0px represents the shadow offset to the right. – 1px represents the shadow offset below. – 2px represents the spread or blur distance. – Finally, the #eee is the color of the shadow. The offsets can all be negative values as well. So using “-1px” for the first value would move the shadow 1px to the left.
