What is the best way to display text over images - I'd like the image to fade to white underneath the text so that the text is easier to read since I have no control over the contents of the images.
I thought about having a second label behind the actual label with the same text in a slightly larger font and white color. but I'd rather have it be a gradual fading of the image just under the text rather than what looks like 3D text.
Any suggestions?
