Heading effects
This guide describes the Theme settings > Heading effects menu options. Use the settings to define the effects (text styles) applied to heading text (titles) throughout your store.
In the previous video, a heading is displayed, inside an Image with text overlay section, on a store's homepage. To apply a shadow style to the heading, in Theme settings > Heading effects, the Style dropdown option is changed from None (off) to Full shadow.
For general guidance with adjusting a theme setting, refer to Settings overview and Shopify help: Theme settings
