Bevel not working

CapellaM44 · **Joined:** May 29, 2015 **Posts:** 7

Hi all,
I am an avid gimp user and recently took on making flyers for our German club. I wanted to bevel the font to give it a 3D look, but bevel appears broken. I thought it was because the font was plain white, but when I draw a line with a color, there still isn't a bevel look. I notice that the 2nd time I open the bevel option, the window opens behind my main window and I have to go find it. The program seems to be malfunctioning a bit. Has this happened to anyone else or is there a way to fix it? I really need to get this flyer done in the next couple of days.

Thank you

Working ok here: kubuntu 20.04 / Gimp 2.10.34

This a 15 second demo animation. https://i.imgur.com/GKK7oiS.mp4 Might be something in there that helps.

Otherwise probably some setting in your Gimp User Profile.

Your update of GT Bevel works fine for me. kubuntu 20.0 / Gimp 2.10.3

It's important to ensure that you're using the tool correctly and that your graphics card drivers are up to date, as sometimes graphical glitches can affect the functionality. Additionally, check for any GIMP updates as newer versions might have bug fixes. If the problem persists, consider seeking assistance from the GIMP community forums or mailing lists, where you may find solutions or others who have experienced similar issues. Don't hesitate to reach out for help, as getting your flyer done is essential!

Looks like a non sense AI generated answer... Who the hell goes on "mailing list" to search for answers nowadays?
Also the "consider seeking assistance from the GIMP community forums"... scuse me where are we? Oh... a Gimp community forum... :hehe

And the "Don't hesitate to reach out for help, as getting your flyer done is essential!" :yes

Especially knowing that GIMP uses the CPU and not the graphic card... :bigthup

Maybe it's time to think about to delete that fake user/member...
