Question

In the iOS clock app, the font in the table view cells has a slight shadow to it which gives the effect that the text is engraved….

How can I recreate that font with the engraved look?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Answer 1

Simply set the shadow color to white:

label.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
label.shadowColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
label.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0.0, 1.0);
