Text Glow
« on: November 29, 2012, 09:37:14 AM »
Is there any way to achieve a text glow dynamically (shaders are mentioned in the UILabel docs, but I can't find any more about that)

Here is an example of what I'd like to achieve:

Easiest way would be to add a glow around the letters in Photoshop. More complicated way would be to have a post-process glow effect.

Having the glow per-char could make the overlapped glow areas look a bit weird. I guess I'll just go with a sliced sprite background for the glow. Thanks for your reply :-)
