Description
I would like to request a few more options for the UI.
Currently fonts and icons are tied together when turning on the dropshadow. It would be nice to seperate them and add to the fond styling some options:
- x,y offset sliders from shadow
- blur amount (none to real fuzzy)
- opacity
- thickness
- color
This would allow for example a offset of 0,0, thickness of 4 and blur of 0 would result in text having a nice outline effect.
Also if the typography section could include separate font/style for header vs subtext that would also help create even better UI possibilities.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so first locate the UI typography and drop-shadow settings in the RetroArch codebase. Done means providing independent shadow controls for offset, blur, opacity, thickness, and color, plus separate header and subtext font/style options.
