option, None, does not apply any shadow while the second option, Drop, applies a
drop shadow. You can specify the position of the shadow in the X and Y spin boxes
as well as control its transparency and the amount of soft edge in the Transpar-
ency and Soft edge spin boxes. The third option, Glow, applies a shadow to an
object so that it appears evenly on all sides. You can specify the color of the
shadow as well as its intensity in the Options group box. (The greater the
intensity, the farther out the shadow extends.) You can also set the transparency
and the amount of soft edge in the Transparency and Soft edge spin boxes. The
final option, Extrude, applies a shadow so that it comes out from an object. You
can specify the position of the shadow in the X and Y spin boxes as well as
choose between a solid or gradient color. If you choose a gradient color, you can
change it by clicking the color square to open the Magic Gradient dialog box. You
can also choose to have the shadow extrude away in horizontal layers or along in
vertical layers.
