Its called dilation. You need to have transparent background (png style) and then run the dilation filter.

Flaming Pear has a photoshop plugin that does this, called solidify.

Obscura: is the "dilation filter" a default part of photoshop? I cannot find it there...? (or is it some plugin? which one?)
