I just made this new plugin. Downloads for Linux and Windows here.
https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/Gimp_Cra ... t/releases





Location to put Binaries

Windows
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\gegl-0.4\plug-ins

Linux
/home/(USERNAME)/.local/share/gegl-0.4/plug-ins

Linux (Flatpak)
/home/(USERNAME)/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/data/gegl-0.4/plug-ins

Source Code (if you want to compile)
For some reason the auto Github generated source code of this filter is outdated. So please use the updated source code on Github named source_code_of_crayon_text.zip

Then Restart Gimp and go to GEGL Operations to find the plugin.

Fun fact, this plugin makes very thin text by running GEGL bevel on green text by the subtract blend mode. That is the base of how this filter works. It actually uses a technique similar to "glass over text" but not quite the same thing.

Crayon Text got an update.

It now has a checkbox that gives it the original color of the image instead of color overlay.



Override the old binaries with the new one to get it working
