Label: create label border with ApplyShadow
« on: January 20, 2014, 12:40:47 PM »
Hello!

Do you have some ideas about how to make a bordered label (a "real outlined label") with dynamic font, editing the actual code that does text effects (shadow and outline).

I played with ApplyShadow for 2 hours without reach a decent effect.

With dynamic font? You won't be able to get nice looking results due to its nature (fully managed by Unity, single channel texture, no way to modify the data, etc). With a bitmap font you can -- by editing it in Photoshop.
