UILabel - Soft Shadows
« on: November 28, 2012, 05:24:57 AM »
Hey,

so, theres that Effect/Shadow Feature in UILabel, is there any way to blur the shadow without making a new font with a blured Bitmap?

Regards

Nope. The shadow / outline effects are achieved by drawing the text more than once. It's a quick effect meant to easily emphasize something, but I don't recommend using it in production, especially on mobiles. Baking the effect into your font's texture is the better way to go.
