Cool! and thanks BoltBait!

A shadow option could make the text stand out even more.

Put it in a separate layer and use Object -> Object Shadow oder Object -> Drop Shadow.

That is what I usually do. 

 

Boltbait, I know you like your interfaces as clean as possible but a color option would be nice too. Perhaps using the selected (primary and secondary) colors. I know how to colorize black and white text but for some users could be a challange.

Put your text on it's own layer and run Effects > Object > Object Shadow

 

Adding that code into this plugin would be... complicated.

You know me so well...

 

OK.  Download v1.1 in the first post.

Love it BoltBait!!  Really simplifies things.    

 

 

 

How come my emoticons look different from everyone else's??   

Okay...some are different.

Now they're not....?

Thanks for the bug report.  It is fixed now.  Download v1.2 in the first post.

 

...and, now you know why I never put new plugins right into my plugin pack.

^ such wisdom!

[Maximilian]

I can use this in so many ways!

 

 

[Ego Eram Reputo]

+1 if there was a way I could give you two votes I would have

[Maximilian]

Oh, thank you Ego, you're too kind!

Sir BB!

 

Thank you for effort and this is very interesting plugin.

True.  But, if you put your cursor in their, you can move around with your arrow keys.

 

BTW, this is not something that I have control over.  Adding a scrollbar is something Rick would have to do and it would apply to all effects that use a text control.

I just added a Shadow option.

 

It really makes the text pop off the screen.  Enjoy.

Thank you BoltBait for the Meme Maker! Unfortunately, I'm not good at writing a clever meme, but I nevertheless like your plugin.
