Question

I would like to know what text/font settings Apple uses to create the header text used in the iPhone. As an example, if you go to Settings -> Wi-Fi there will be header text which says “Choose a Network…”

How do I get my text to look like this and/or is there documentation anywhere on the text settings apple uses?

Answer 1

Maybe the standard system fonts? From UIFont class reference:

Creating System Fonts

+ systemFontOfSize:
+ boldSystemFontOfSize:
+ italicSystemFontOfSize:

A little try with colors and shadow:

[label setFont:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:15.0]];
[label setTextColor:
    [UIColor colorWithRed:0.223
                    green:0.266
                     blue:0.349
                    alpha:1.0]];
[label setShadowColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[label setShadowOffset:CGSizeMake(1.0,1.0)];
