I found an interesting post by Zacattackk about giving TextLabels some nice effects, but I found it more limiting and hard to use…
So I will let the picture do the talking:
A video tutorial may come out if needed. Will probably be recorded tomorrow.
:o photoshop blending options into roblox plugin, someone give this woman a cat
The title of the GUI frame looks ugly, though.
Oh, the irony.
Nice plugin though.
Thanks for giving credit 
- and there is a ‘c’ before the double k’s at the end of my name XD

That is so awesome!
Maybe you could make a custom font plugin. You will have to upload a decal for every letter and number, but it would be cool to see, and I would definitely use it. If you were to pick a font, I’d suggest Mryiad Pro Light.
Convert this into a module?
I sure can once I get a minute.
Module is done!
Model: http://www.roblox.com/TextPlus-Module-item?id=276261457
Code:
--[[TextPlus module by FromLegoUniverse (base math by Zacattack)
FUNCTIONS:
Module:ApplyEffects(Instance TextLabel,Bool ShadowsEnabled,Bool BevelEnabled,Float Angle,TableOrNil Overrides)
Instance TextLabel: Instance of the text label to add effects
Bool ShadowsEnabled: If true, adds shadows
Bool BevelEnabled: If true, adds a glow/bevel
Float Angle: The number (in degrees) of how light effects the bevel and shadows (should be 0 to 360)
TableOrNil Overrides: See below
Module:RemoveEffects(Instance TextLabel,Bool PreserveShadow,Bool PreserveBevel)
Instance TextLabel: Instance of the text label to remove effects
Bool PreserveShadow: If true, it will keep shadow effects if any
Bool PreserveBevel: If true, it will keep the bevel effects if any
ABOUT OVERRIDES:
Overrides is an optional table for ApplyEffects, that gives overrides to the settings below.
The table would be formatted like so:
{Mode = "Direct",ShadowColor = Color3.new(1,1,1),ShadowDistance = 4},
or Property = Override property
Here is what each does:
Cartoonify: 0 is normal fade, 1 is hard shadows, and 2 is hard and thick shadows
Mode: Weak is a weak shadow, Strong is a medium shadow, Direct is a strong shadow,
and Center is a full shadow around
ShadowColor: Color of the Shadow
ShadowTransparency: Transparency of the shadow (if Cartoonify is 0)
ShadowDistance: How far away the shadow is from the text
TextStrokeTransparency: Stroke of the shadow if Cartoonify is 0 or 1
BevelGlowColor: Color of the glow of the bevel
BevelGlowTransparency: Transparency of the glow of the bevel
BevelShadowColor: Color of the shadow of the bevel
BevelShadowTransparency: Transparency of the shadow of the bevel
BevelDistance: Distance of the bevel from the text

Wow thanks i’ve been looking for something like this, pretty cool.
