Really glad it's helping you
I'd recommend tweaking the layer style for long words though, the gradient angle is lost on those.

I tried to make a wallpaper, but the shadow was almost invisible. I turned off the last step and repeated all the others on the shadow layer, then played the last step and it turned out great. Thanks.

Awesome! What should I change to create the same shadow but solid, without the gradient? Thanks!

Edit the layer style created and remove the gradient there, let me know if you need more indications.

How do you customize the shadow to be longer?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
If you want to make the gradient longer you can edit the layer style, if that's not enough, you can duplicate the shadow layer, move it the same amount of pixels to the bottom and to the right, and ctrl+E to merge it with the previous shadow. I recommend moving it with shift+keyboard arrows to make it faster and move 10 pixels per click.
Let me know if you get it.

Forgot to mention, before merging, you must change the fill opacity of both shadow layers to 100%, otherwise it will just disappear.
