color, ramp or texture to the frame.
Blur
Controls the amount of blur, from 0 (no blur) to 100.
Shape

•

V Offset

Descenders
Lowers the bottom of the frame to accommodate lower case
descender characters like g, j and y.
Spaces
Frames the spaces between words.
Priority
Determines whether the frame appears in front of or behind other
details. By default, FXDeko assigns a priority to each detail so that
they render from front to back, in the order they appear in the
Details list. Use Priority to change the rendering order. Priority
ranges from 0 (closest to viewer) to 1000 (farthest from viewer).
Priority also controls the rendering order of overlapping details
from different styles.
