I'm trying to set the shadow colour on a UIButton, but all I seem to be able to get is a mid grey.
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
button.frame = CGRectMake(20, 20, 200, 100);
[button setTitle:@"a" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button addTarget:self
action:@selector(buttonPressed:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[button setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button.titleLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:96]];
// set up the button colours
button.titleLabel.shadowColor = [UIColor blueColor];
[button.titleLabel setShadowOffset:CGSizeMake(5.0f, 5.0f)];
[self.view addSubview:button];

Am I setting the wrong property, or is it the way that I'm setting shadowColor
that's wrong?
Thanks.
Have you tried:
[button setTitleShadowColor:[UIColor blueColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
