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?

It is safe. Unset fill must be black per SVG specification.
Or, you can use off-the-canvas original text with unset fill and two its clones on the canvas, one for the text and the other for the shadow.

I actually have to, indeed. I didn't realize I need to blur and set the opacity for the shadow, which isn't possible for the master object as those properties would push to the clones. Off canvas solution is the best workaround yet, thanks.
Hello,
Is it possible to have Inkscape in french, because we want to use it in swiss schools ? And how ?
Thanks
