Hi Marc, so that it can be applied at the very same area where the first shadow is.

for example to add multiple background-color at the same place, we separate with a coma.

Thanks you.

that's work. In fact, I had two miskates. The one you said, but I remarked that I didn't use correctly the keyword for the color. I used #firebrick instead of firebrick only. # it's only for hexadecimal color. :P Thank to answer quickly, I love that function.
