Text Looking Right

I'm an experienced icon maker, and I've just started using border brushes and exclusion blend modes and lots and lots of layers. But one thing I have a big problem with is text.

I just can't get it to look right. I use drop-shadow, I use lower opacity...every time it just seems to not look good.

There's some examples down lower. I think the icons are good, but they're just missing something, and I can't put my finger on what they're missing. I use PSP 7.

Thanks in advance!
