text shadow effect on controls

[Jasper Potts]

Hi Pedro,

That should work, the css selector is looking for a node of class "Text" which is a decedent of the control. So it find all Text nodes in the scenegraph below the node with the given ID then applys the effect to them. In new versions of JavaFX text nodes have the style class "text" by default so you can then use:

#MyControlID .text {
	-fx-effect: .....
}

But the old way should still work as well, if it doesn't then please file a bug in JIRA.
