Hey, I've been searching around for this and I'm surprised that I couldn't find it. I want to change the direction of the shadow images, is it possible?

For units and Heroes, you can change the values in these fields to change the position of the shadow image:
Art - Shadow Image - Center X
Art - Shadow Image - Center Y
This can allow you to move the shadow image diagonally, so that it looks like the light source is behind the units. However, this doesn't change the direction of the shadow image and it doesn't work for buildings; you would need to import custom shadow textures for that.
