It is my understanding that you cannot (currently) give a view a shadow. If, however, you are custom drawing using the view's drawRect: method, you can drop the shadow during the drawing. For example, you can do a fill with a shadow. This may or may not achieve the effect you're looking for. You'll also run up against the view's bounds, so you'll need to take that into account.

I have a custom view that I would like to display with a shadow. The custom view is a subview of an NSBox, so it seems to me that subclassing NSBox would be the proper course of action. unfortunately, I was unable to find any example code for applying shadows to views themselves, as opposed to their contents. Does anyone have any advice for approaching this problem?
