text shadow effect on controls

[Pedro Duque Vieira]

Hi Jasper,

No it doesn't seem to be working (using Text instead of .text). I'll file a
Jira bug than.

I like the fact that you can target the text of controls through css, this
is actually more powerful than the HTML/CSS solution.

Thanks, best regards,
