Use a cell to draw your text and call -setBackgroundStyle: on it with the parameter NSBackgroundStyleRaised. That'll apply the exact same shadow that's used on toolbar item labels. Keep in mind that this method is Leopard-only.

Hi,
Just take a look at any toolbar text in Leopard. It has a subtle, white shadow. How can I get this very same effect in my own app when using NSString's drawInRect method? What attributes to use? Do you have any sample code?
Thanks, U.
