Well because the label can be rotated, I had to stick it inside of another view (Otherwise when I moved or scaled it, the whole thing went nuts). So in that view's code where the actual shadow was set it resizes it's rectangle as well as the label's. However, on the bright side using CALayer for the shadow fixes everything, and now the text, italic, bold, regular, shadowed or not looks great. Using the same technique I also fixed an issue I'd had in Image shadows so those look great too.
