Text & Outline Appearance

To adjust the appearance of a text, select a text frame -- the text toolbox will appear:

The Shadow part of the toolbox can be dragged directly to edit the text's shadow:

•	Drag left/right = Shadow Offset

•	Drag up/down = Shadow Blur

•	Click = Open Shadow Editor (color, angle, amount, etc).

The text's color and outline options can be changed by opening the Text Editor. Click on the T icon to launch the Text Editor.

Text - Color Outline

Text Body
To make the text body more translucent, click on the Opacity control and change the value to a lower number. Be sure to turn the Text Shadow down or off to get a less-muddy color.

To change the color of the text, change the R-G-B values, or click on the color picker box to open the color editor.

Drag the Soften control to interactively set the blur on the text.

Text Outline
The outline for the text can have a unique color and transparency - typically a black edge around a text body.
To make the outline more translucent, click on the Opacity control and change the value to a lower number.

Drag the 'size'' control to make the outline wider or narrower.
A dashed outline is also available. Click on "Dash" to set the size of the spacing.
