This effect cannot be implemented with text attributes.


Are you sure? This gets awfully close, unless I'm missing the point here (the font to use your choice):

+ (NSDictionary*) defaultTitleAttributes
{
// return the dictionary used to specify the attributes for drawing the title string in the palette windows. Override to
// customize the title string

static NSDictionary* sTitleAttrs = nil;

if ( sTitleAttrs == nil )
{
NSFont* font = [NSFont boldSystemFontOfSize:11.0];
NSMutableParagraphStyle* style = [[NSParagraphStyle defaultParagraphStyle] mutableCopy];

[style setAlignment:NSCenterTextAlignment];

NSShadow* shadw = [[NSShadow alloc] init];

[shadw setShadowColor:[NSColor whiteColor]];
[shadw setShadowOffset:NSMakeSize( 0, -1.5 )];
[shadw setShadowBlurRadius:1.0];

sTitleAttrs = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:font,NSFontAttributeName,
style,NSParagraphStyleAttributeName,
shadw, NSShadowAttributeName,
nil];
[sTitleAttrs retain];
[style release];
[shadw release];
}

return sTitleAttrs;
}
