Drop shadow

A dark overlay that covers a section of text or a graphic that makes the object appear three-dimensional. In operating systems and software programs, drop shadows are commonly used to bring attention to an object, such as a dialog box when it opens on the screen. In the image to the right you can see the words "My Computer" have a drop shadow that help the text stand out.
