Text styling filters are my favourite! I know they are your favourite too! GEGL has a new neon border filter!

You can also make outline only text if you disable the second stroke and glow opacity.
You can also make aura outlines around subjects if put a copy of the layer above it or use the "behind" blend mode in gimp.
Finally I must add that due to @MareroQ's discovery there is no more cluttering 'zz' operations. They still exist but they are hidden from the menu.
Have fun!

Gimp's 16 bit interger mode is recommended to prevent banding effects. I have to add that.

I think I'm too tiring today for some.
However, we strive for high standards?

Color two is meant to be the minor color and color one is dominate. Much like Pixelitor's neon border. That was the inspiration. I intentionally made it that way.
There is a bug where you have to use clip (at least on Linux) to use color 2. That is a separate issue. I don't know what causes that. Make a preset of your favorite setting if you don't like my default. If you show me a better default I can change it. This is not meant to be a double stroke but rather a neon border.

A total little thing.
It's not about defaults, but descriptions.
Since there is:
Grow radius 1
Grow radius 2
consistently it should be:
Color 1
Color 2
Blur radius 1
Blur radius 2
and so on...

I had to use clip on Windows. I must admit, I found the settings a little confusing, but after tweaking them around a bit, it made more sense. It would be cool to be able to stroke a path (or maybe an outline) while using this feature and using a gradient.

This Filter is truly something!
![Clap :clap](./images/smilies/yeah.gif)
(I just pass the last hour playing with it
![hee hee :hehe](./images/smilies/hihi.gif)
)
I love it, thank you so much
Just to let you know, on MX Linux 21.1, I don't need to change the clipping mode, I did tried both clipping mode and they work exactly as intended by default

You should push it on gitlab-gnome to become an official filter in GIMP like in Filters / Light and Shadow / Neon Border , IMHO it will go very well along the "Drop Shadow", "Long shadow", "Bloom", "Super Novae", etc...

chmod +x *.so
if you want update/replace files DONT need delete it into directory ~/.local/share/gegl-0.4/plug-ins/
Thanks for the tip

, 2 questions though.
I put them in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gegl-0.4, for all account, anyway >> none of them that I already put and even the one already there by default are NOT executable as program, thus why do you want us to do a
chmod +x *.so?
The second question, I did a
man wget, to know what is the "-N" argument, why do we need to turn on the timestamp? There is not much explanation in the
man, does wget will care if the file is not modified, the next time?

This filter has an alternative use that I highly recommend.

Neon border now only uses one binary (as opposed to 3). No other changes have been made but I am tempted to change the default preset to this image attached. Also, the change does not solve the clip setting bug. I have no idea what is causing that.

Windows Binaries here.
NOTE ALL WINDOWS BINARIES ARE ALSO FOUND ON THE GITHUB RELEASE SECTION.
https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Neo ... /releases/Put the file in
C:\Users\AppData\Local\gegl-0.4\plug-ins
and create the `plug-ins` folder if it doesn't exist.

I didn't mention this originally but only one of Neon Border's sliders should be above 1.00. One should be on 2.00 and the other 1.00. Regardless if it is top or bottom but never should both opacity sliders be on two that causes it to glitch.
Neon Border is literally two drop shadows and a background gaussian blur chained together on a transparency inversion operation.

The latest version of neon border no longer requires using manual clipping and it is simplified. I consider this a quality update.
Linux and windows binaries here
https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Neo ... eon_BorderDirectory to put Binaries
WindowsC:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\gegl-0.4\plug-ins
Linux /home/(USERNAME)/.local/share/gegl-0.4/plug-ins
Linux (Flatpak includes Chromebook) /home/(USERNAME)/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/data/gegl-0.4/plug-ins
