If I understand what you are asking for, look at the CALayer methods: setShadowOpacity: setShadowOffset: setShadowColor: And note that you can call these on the UIView's layer, e.g. [[myView layer] setShadowOpacity:0.5]; (Note that you will need to have imported QuartzCore to get access to this functionality.) - -- Conrad Shultz Synthetiq Solutions www.synthetiqsolutions.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.14 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkxyhSAACgkQaOlrz5+0JdVRuACfamGbna7eMxp0d7eGRBMsV/HD bOYAnikmIP7gOh5mKFJ+/JsVcV2oN/o0 =TWEn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
