Blur/Shadow Text

Hello,

In Windows Desktop for example, the Icons has a small Blur/Shadow effect in his text...
Windows Live Messenger has the same effect in every text... except for chat text of course

Somebody knows how to do that? Some component?

I believe it already exists, or at least, near that!

Regards,
Carlos
