# Text Shadowing

 * I would like to Text Shadow my FP titles. I used Firebug to try and work it out
   but I am not having much luck.
    Am I to understand that a CHILD THEME only overrides
   the code it is given? For example, If I don’t want to change the font, I don’t
   add a font command? That being said this is the code I tried and it didn’t work
   What am I doing wrong?
 * ‘.fpc-widget-front h2 {
    text-shadow: 5px 5px 5px; text-align: center; }’

 * Try this:
 *     ```
       .marketing h2 {
       text-shadow: 5px 5px 5px;
       }
       ```

 * Generally chappie is right, but you’re using fpu-unlimited which has different
   selectors, and stronger rules, so:
 *     ```
       .fpc-marketing .fpc-widget-front h2
       ```

 * Good morning d4z_c0nf – I hope you slept the sleep of the righteous.
 * I’m 110% certain that your code must be better but I did check that mine worked
   before posting it.

 * Goof morning chappie 😀
    In his site? There aren’t `marketing` selectors in his
   site but `fpc-marketing`

 * 🙂 I knew your code was better.
 * Me, I’m just trying to absolve my debt to this community by finding questions
   I can answer – and there aren’t many (one fewer now than I thought).

   learn faster 😀

    I am on a learning curve, now I know what to look for in firebug.
