Box soft shadow?
I was asked to provide a soft drop shadow for a custom UIView class... and basically I am looking to create a soft shadow beneath a square opaque element. I'd like to do this without using a PNG. How would I do this? I am googling, and found something for text, but not just for a simple square shape. -- Interactive Designer and Developer Google Voice: (508) 656-0622 http://blog.ericd.net ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
