Main Title  : GUI-Trick
Sub Title   : Displaying Shadowed Text

Description :  Two Similar Texts (with Transparent background) can be overlapped (superimposed)
               one over the another (with a slight offset) to create a shadowed text. 
               These texts have to be colored in contrast with each other.
               
               This a GUI to demonstrate the said effect.
