If the Apply shadow check box in the Properties palette is selected, the selected button or graphic object is given a shadow. Clicking the Options button opens the Shadow Settings window.
You can adjust the detail settings of the shading at the top of the Shadow Settings window. A preview appears at the bottom of the window if you select the Preview check box. You can immediately preview what effects a change to the settings will have.
