# Shadow properties

These properties determine the shadow settings for your element, including shadow angle, color, distance, softness, and transparency.

### Shadow

* **Show**\
  Enable or disable the display of a shadow for your element.

* **Angle**\
  Set the direction in which the shadow will be drawn. You can either choose a predefined angle or manually enter the angle in degrees. The specified degrees are counted clockwise.

* **Color**\
  Select the color of the shadow. You can choose a solid color or use a gradient, texture, or pattern. See "Using the color picker" for a complete explanation of available options.

* **Distance**\
  The distance (in pixels) between the element and the end of the shadow. The shadow always starts at the element, and this value determines how far it extends.

* **Softness**\
  Controls how sharp or soft the shadow appears.

* **Transparency**\
  Sets the level of transparency for the shadow. Values range from 0% (fully visible) to 100% (fully transparent).

***

**Remarks**

* The way shadows are drawn depends on the type of element.
* For text elements, the shadow applies directly to the text.
* For picture elements, the shadow is drawn outside the element’s boundaries.
