Kyle76 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 There seems to be no way to create a text block with a contrasting background to make text stand out better on top of a picture. In addition, I can’t figure out whether it’s possible to put shadows on text, again to make it easier to read over a variable background. Am I missing some functionality?

I've included a quick screen recording of this below - RPReplay_Final1603729921.MP4 I hope this helps Kyle76 1 Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.
