New version of Joined-up Text filter (Version 2.07)

[Skinnyhouse]

This version adds the option to colour text with colours sampled from the currently selected gradient in the filter dialog.

The filter and associated fonts can be downloaded here:

The relevant options for the new feature are high-lighted in this screen-shot of the filter dialog:

Click on the 'Gradient for text colours:' tool and select the gradient you wish to use for your coloured text.
Click on 'Colour text from current gradient:' to set the option to 'Yes', and you're ready to go.

This option takes precedence over the 'Shade colour along text:' option if both are set to 'Yes'.

The option will apply the colours in a slightly different way when the 'Change size with words:' option is set to 'Yes'.
In this case it will restrict the number of colours used to the number of words in the entered text: As in the simple example below:

Thank you so much Skinnyhouse. You add new nice options to your script. Beautiful the results in colours.
I did a test on 2.05 and other on this new one 2.07 (on wood)
I miss your script, which was to apply shiny metal look. Please, which is the link to it? Thanks a lot.

Thank you so much Skinnyhouse. Just that I didn't find it. Now I have it.
I'm happy you like the results.

Thanks Skinnyhouse! Excellent idea to add the gradient fill.

Surprised myself with that one Rod.

I really love what you have done with your joined up, metallic, and translucent texts. It is really an accomplishment of which to be very proud!
