Drop Shadow with Contrasting Color

To drop a shadow, this code sets a contrast color and uses an additional drawString method with offset coordinates:

import javafx.gui.*;
import javafx.gui.effect.*;

Group {
    content: [
      Rectangle{x: 10 y: 10 width: 200 height: 50 arcHeight:15 arcWidth:15 fill: Color.web("#C0C0C0")},
      Text {font: Font{name: "Serif" size: 20, style: FontStyle.BOLD}
        x: 110 y: 40 content: "GUI Toolkit" fill: Color.web("#FFFF00")
        horizontalAlignment: HorizontalAlignment.CENTER
        effect: DropShadow {offsetX: 2 offsetY: -2 radius: 6 color: Color.web("#808080")}}
             ]
}

This code sample is from Using JavaFX GUI Toolkit
