Drop shadows on style 6 h1 title

Hi tagdiv folk,
trying to add a small drop shadow to the h1 title for the style 6, to get the text to pop off the background big photo a little for legibility; I did this previously on Newspaper, and didn’t save the CSS to do same thing with Newsmag, and can’t quite get syntax right.

Trying to do something like


.template6-header .h1 .entry-title {text-shadow: 2px 2px 4px black} 

And I am obviously brain dead on getting that right.

Sorry to bother 🙂

Hi,

Please use it like this: http://screencast.com/t/44xxgkdgo4u

.template6-header .entry-title {
text-shadow: 7px 7px 7px red;
}

Hope this helps, just change then values and color as you like.

Thanks

Thanks Alin
I thought I’d tried that iteration, but obviously I was brain dead last night while trying to do that — which does happen from time to time, even to me (aka “mr smarty pants”) 🙂

Anybody know how to do this on post style 4 also ?

For some reason I’m not able to sort these couple of styles out properly when looking at the source code. For style 4, there is no .template4-header div, for example.

okay, for anybody else needing to do this for post style “4”
this seems to work
.td-post-template-4 .entry-title {text-shadow: 2px 2px 4px black}

(CORRECTION)
WHOOOOOPS!

this adds the shadow to all the related story titles, too …. (doh!)
CORRECT CODE:
.td-post-template-4 header h1 {text-shadow: 2px 2px 4px black}

examples on post style 6

and post style 4

I would almost go so far as to “suggest” that some kind of shadow on the H1 tags for both of these templates might be a nice “default” even if set as 1px 1px 3px black .
