Easy way to add shadows to text in QLabel

include headers <QGraphicsDropShadowEffect>

// For an example we have QLabel called userName
// set blur to 0, and setOffset to 1,1 and color for smooth look must be little butter darker then text color

QGraphicsDropShadowEffect *effect = new QGraphicsDropShadowEffect(this);
effect->setBlurRadius(0);
effect->setColor(QColor("#EEEEEE"));
effect->setOffset(1,1);
ui->userName->setGraphicsEffect(effect);
