Alex .____. Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) The title is self-explanatory. The text was yellow until I tried to use the effect. The outline should also be a different color and so on... I'm not using blending btw Edited November 8, 2023 by Alex .____.

Solution Lemonade Posted November 8, 2023 Solution Share Posted November 8, 2023 After using Outline (Effects > Stylize > Outline) object colors are inverted. Select text layer and apply Adjustments > Invert Colors. Check out Plugin Index for other Outline plugins: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/15260-plugin-index/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red ochre Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I don't think the built-in Stylize/Outline is really designed for outlining objects. https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/EffectsStylizeMenu.html As @Lemonade suggests try a plugin for outlining 'objects' or possibly selections. I think @pyrochild and @BoltBait have good ones. 3 Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

lynxster4 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I was just about to say the same thing. ^^ I think you're using the wrong 'Outline' plugin. You should be in the OBJECT menu. 😊 Quote My Art Gallery | My Shape Packs | ShapeMaker Mini Tut | Air Bubble Stained Glass Chrome Text with Reflections | Porcelain Text w/ Variegated Coloring | Realistic Knit PatternOpalescent Stained Glass | Frosted Snowman Cookie | Leather Texture | Plastic Text | Silk Embroidery Visit my Personal Website "Never, ever lose your sense of humor - you'll live longer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactilis Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 4 hours ago, Alex .____. said: (see screenshot in 1st post) What has caused the excessive spacing of the menus and other controls? Is it caused, in some way, by the over-large font you are using for window titles and edit fields? The Hex field can't display all the digits due to the font size.

Alex .____. Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 First of all, thank you, @Lemonade and @Red ochre! I didn't expect that I'd have to download a plugin, because it worked just fine beforehand. I guess there is no easier fix though, so I'll try BoltBaits plugin. Also @Tactilis, you're completely right I am using a wider font which seems to effect the tab spacing, yet doesn't change the tab font. It's weird but I've grown used to it. (Btw. The font is called "Press Start 2P". I'm a retro enthusiast) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
