Outline Effect broken?

[Alex .____.]

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

[Lemonade]

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:

Hello @Alex .____. and welcome to the forum  

 

The text needs to be on its own transparent layer.

I don't think the built-in Stylize/Outline is really designed for outlining objects.

As @Lemonade suggests try a plugin for outlining 'objects' or possibly selections. I think @pyrochild and @BoltBait have good ones.

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.  😊

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.

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)
