I wonder how Apple achieve their text effects in applications such as
iTunes etc.
Basically it's just black text with some kind of white shadow.
The only way for me to get close to this was (in IB):
- Put a text in a bright grey color in my application, then put the
same text in black color on it, but one pixel higher.
But this can't be it, you'd have to deal with every text item twice...
Anyone have any clue?
What about a NSTextField subclass which draws the text twice?
How about something like this?
NSSize size = {2, -2};
mFreqShadow = [[NSShadow alloc] init];
[mFreqShadow setShadowOffset: size];
[mFreqShadow setShadowColor: [NSColor whiteColor]];
[mFreqShadow set];
// draw some text
