text shadow controls in Keynote

[John Oram]

Mike-

Actually I was talking about the font drop shadows that are now 
available system-wide in 10.3, not the shadows available for shapes. 
(Yes, they can be applied to text, but they live in a different layer 
than the text itself which doesn't do much good from a contrast point 
of view...)  If you do know of a way to change the colours of these 
text drop shadows I would love to hear of it.  So far we haven't had 
much luck.
