If using a 4k display/monitor the tool box icons are small, All you can do is dive into Edit -> Preferences -> Interface change the Icon Theme to maybe Color and bump the Icon Size to 'Huge' https://i.imgur.com/PN7yFgF.jpg While there change the Theme from Dark to 'System' https://i.imgur.com/IGpgmST.jpg

This GEGL Drop Shadow filter is surprising: if you apply the filter directly to the image as you do with the legacy filter, you get nothing!
I do not really understand this comment. Maybe it is the background of the image or the case that PixLab indicated. The GEGL Drop Shadow adjusts to suit and you see the adjustment as it happens. It does reset to defaults when opened but there is last used values in the presets. The only snag with the GEGL filter is you lose the text layer. Make a copy if you want to keep it as text.
The legacy filter is still there, the top one in the screenshot. A bit of a guess until you apply it, but it does make a separate layer for the shadow.
