Blur - Change the lining of the blur effect, making it blend more smoothly or giving it a harsher edge.

Spread - Change the amount of space the drop shadow takes up (expand or make it smaller).

6. Once you make the drop shadow the way you want, click the green Save button, and then the green Publish button to take your changes live!

If you are a fan of the old default drop shadow,  you can achieve that same look by entering in these numbers:

Color - As you would prefer, but set the opacity to 50

Blur - 6

Spread - 1

That will help you achieve the old default drop shadow look!
