Label Shadows for scrolling labels (i.e. ilists)

In my skin, I've got the shadows worked out for static labels by duplicating the label, moving it 2 pixels right and down and changing to black, making sure that the shadow label is below the original label in the *.skin.
iLists or anything that scrolls won't show the label below since it's not transparent to other text.

Having shadows makes it a little better looking, and more dynamic.

Is there a way to get this to work with scrolling labels?
Also, is there a way to do this without having to duplicate the label and move it?

Here's a screenshot to show what I am talking about:



The iList in the center and the Artist - TrackTitle on the bottom center don't have shadows.

Anyone know how to do this?
