No, not a shadow but something like that

Something like what?

Would it be possible to post an image of what you'd like to achieve?

Ok, by zooming in, I saw what you're looking for.

Then, it's exactly what Nermander showed.
You have to activate the outline and then set a color for it.

Yes, the button (O) I circled is for adding an outline to the characters, the one to the right of it (S) is for adding shadow.
