 * Depending on the kind of content we need to use for an image slide, the caption
   text is hard to read even with the ability to position it around. I didn’t see
   this as an option but being able to place a text-shadow on the caption text would
   be helpful! Thanks

   The slider is located on the homepage and is our only instance
 * Our current workaround is finding appropriate images, but sometimes _we have_
   to use certain images where a text-shadow could potentially be useful.

 * add the following code to your Customizer -> Custom CSS to achieve a basic black
   text shadow.
 * .wp-block-eedee-block-gutenslider .slide-content h2 {
    text-shadow: 3px 3px 0
   black; }
