Are you sure? This gets awfully close, unless I'm missing the point here (the font to use your choice):

+ (NSDictionary*)       defaultTitleAttributes
{
// return the dictionary used to specify the attributes for drawing the title string in the palette windows. Override to
        // customize the title string
        
        static NSDictionary*    sTitleAttrs = nil;
        
        if ( sTitleAttrs == nil )
        {
                NSFont* font = [NSFont boldSystemFontOfSize:11.0];
NSMutableParagraphStyle* style = [[NSParagraphStyle defaultParagraphStyle] mutableCopy];
                
                [style setAlignment:NSCenterTextAlignment];
                
                NSShadow* shadw = [[NSShadow alloc] init];
                
                [shadw setShadowColor:[NSColor whiteColor]];
                [shadw setShadowOffset:NSMakeSize( 0, -1.5 )];
                [shadw setShadowBlurRadius:1.0];
                
sTitleAttrs = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:font,NSFontAttributeName,
                                                                        
style,NSParagraphStyleAttributeName,
                                                                        shadw, 
NSShadowAttributeName,
                                                                        nil];
                [sTitleAttrs retain];
                [style release];
                [shadw release];
        }
        
        return sTitleAttrs;
}
