The tab label is "Shadow", so an "Enable" might be enough for the
checkbox. Though a "Draw shadow" or "Add shadow" wouldn't be bad.

I'm not sure what Width does and would have to try it when faced with
that interface.

"X" and "Y" make me think, "Horizontal" and "Vertical" much less so. You
can avoid repetition by changing "Position" to "Offset".

The indent for groups below bold labels should be 12 px.

The spinners should be left aligned in relation to the sliders.


I still hope you will do this without a dialog, or at least without
Cancel/Insert, instant apply instead.
