Hi all,
is there a way to outline/contour/frame text (and all other items)?
We use white text color, but a few users change their backgrounds to white filled images and are unable to see the desktopinfo information.
And additionally our marketing want to provide a set of background images to our several users, the function for outlining would be great.
Thanks in advance.
best regards,
Nicolas
You can set up a background colour that will make DTI visible regardless of the background.
[options]
transparency=50
formcolor=#000050
where transparency is percent from 0 to 100 (default=100)
formcolor is rgb color. above example will give a blue background.
Hi Glenn,
I have tested it with different font-quality options (and other background colors), but the font is unreadable. See attached screenshot.
Did you have a tip for me?
ini file (I know, CONTROL item is deprecated/not functionally in this config. Currently I test a new way for it.)

did you try my suggested settings above?
Yes, but I had hope that the transparency would be have a bigger effect on this.
Now I have tested with a other color and transparency value, I think it is okay for me (or better say: for our marketing, lol), thank you!
