Sure, get yourself a font with a shadow. ;-)

Got an idea, but that needs a long way round...
Take the labels rect, a look at
http://zrusin.blogspot.com/2006/08/shadows.html and, if needed, a look
at grabWindow() or grabWidget() and you'll know how to draw nice
shadows. Ok, these are really extraordinary charges to draw a simple
font, but it will work. :-P

What type of shadow?
For example, you can use the QPainter to paint the text in gray and then
you can paint the text in real color moving it some pixel away to create
the impression of a shadow.

Nevertheless, the easiest way really is to use a font with a shadow:

Don't say this is the cheapest way. ;-)

I'd just draw the text twice, once with a dark pen with an alpha-value <
255, and then again with the actual color and full opacity. The first
drawing would obviously have some pixels offset.
