Effects in Figma
In addition to stroke, you can also apply effects to any shape inside Figma. To apply an effect, click "+" in Effects. By default, the "drop shadow" effect is applied.
There are four effects in total:
- Inner shadow
- Drop shadow
- Layer blur
- Background blur
Like any other setting, we can add several effects at once. And we can also hide and delete them.
The settings themselves are under the effects icon, the "sun" icon. What we see here: the shadow offset angle along the X axis is 0, along the Y axis - by 4 pixels and the blur value itself = 4. The color can be changed as you like, but you can't add multiple layers of color fill.
Here's an example of adding a small glow to the picture:
