I'm trying to mimic the default emboss that automatically gets applied to navigationItem.title, as well as many other UIKit controls.

As seen in this screenshot's title ("Table Cells"):

I'm essentially trying to add 2 UILabels to the navigationItem.titleView, however the UILabels just show up as flatly drawn and it really just doesn't feel/look right :P

I've thought about playing with shadows, but that would only give the embossed look (if even that) on one side of the label.

Any ideas would be great!

Thanks
