NOTE: As from Titanium 3.2.0, text shadows will be support for Android, making this widget of little use unless you need to support BlackBerry. I will not maintain this module any further.

Alloy (Shadow) Label Widget

This is a widget for the Alloy MVC framework of Appcelerator's Titanium platform.

The widget provides a replacement for <Label /> to support text shadows on Android & BlackBerry. on iOS and MobileWeb it will return a regular Ti.UI.Label. On Android & BlackBerry it will provide an auto-size Ti.UI.View wrapping two Ti.UI.Label's. One for the text and another for it's shadow.

Quick Start

Get it

Download this repository and consult the Alloy Documentation on how to install it, or simply use the gitTio CLI:

$ gittio install nl.fokkezb.label

Use it

Use the widget like you would use a normal <Label />.

Before: Only showing a shadow on iOS and MobileWeb

```xml
<Alloy>
    <Window>
    	<Label shadowColor="#000" />
    </Window>
</Alloy>
```
