Howdy fellow artists!
I've been unsuccessful in something I'd imagine being very common case. I'd like to be able to create editable text with a dropshadow, that would be easily editable. Clones seem an ideal solution for the task. However, I haven't been able to figure out how to change colors of the clone independently from the original.
Either I have to keep the original object black (unset property). This works in most cases, as the shadow indeed needs to be black. But I'm unsure if it's safe to depend on 'unset' looking black in other renderers.
Cornelius suggested to use the linked offset instead, but that appears to shift the size by default and it's hard to tweak as text usually tends to create very complex paths for interactive scaling.
Is there a smarter way way to achieve this?
