How to use

No text shadow

Use .text-shadow-none to remove an existing text shadow from an element. This is most commonly used to remove a shadow that was applied at a smaller breakpoint.

<span class="text-shadow-none"></span>

Responsive

To control the textshadow of an text element at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing text shadow utility. For example, use xl:text-shadow-lg to apply the text-shadow-lg utility at only large screen sizes and above.

For more information about Tailwind's responsive design features, check out the Responsive Design documentation.

<div class="text-shadow sm:text-shadow-sm md:text-shadow-md lg:text-shadow-lg xl:text-shadow-xl ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Customizing

Text Shadow

By default this plugin provides drop text shadow utilities with five modifires, and a utility for removing existing text shadows. You can change, add, or remove these by editing the theme.textShadow section of your Tailwind config.

If a default text shadow is provided, it will be used for the non-suffixed .text-shadow utility. Any other keys will be used as suffixes, for example the key '2xl' will create a corresponding .text-shadow-2xl utility.

To override the default

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {
     textShadow: {
        'default': '0 2px 0 #000',
        'md': '0 2px 2px #000',
        'h2': '0 0 3px #FF0000, 0 0 5px #0000FF',
        'h1': '0 0 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, .8), 0 0 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, .9)',
     }
   }
 }

To extend the default

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {
    // ...
    extend: {
      // ...
      textShadow: {
        '2xl': '1px 1px 5px rgb(33 34 43 / 20%)',
        '3xl': '0 0 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, .8), 0 0 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, .9)',
      },
    },
  },
}
  

Responsive and pseudo-class variants

By default, only responsive, hover and focus variants are generated for text shadow utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the text shadow utilities by modifying the textShadow property in the variants section of your tailwind.config.js file.

For example, this config will also generate active and group-hover variants:

Use the name textShadow under variants object.

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  variants: {
    // ... 
    -   textShadow: ['responsive', 'hover', 'focus'],
    +   textShadow: ['responsive', 'hover', 'focus', 'active', 'group-hover'],
  }
}
