Make transparent text with drop shadow with Affinity Designer

[koenigsegg1]

I'm trying to make transparent text with a drop shadow in the Windows Affinity Designer Beta. So far I have had no luck.

I want the end result to be similar to this. (It's hard to tell, but the text is transparent)

Is this possible?

Hi koenigsegg1,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Yes, it is. Follow those steps:

- write the text

- apply an Outer Shadow FX

- still in the Layer Effects dialog set the Fill Opacity (on bottom right) to 0%
