Thank you trandoductin and molly.

trandoductin, I've thanked you before but I'll thank you again for the script!

Dalia, I like your outcome so much!

I can play the script again. Thank you

can we change the color of the fill?

kenlee20,
not sure what you mean by fill color (i am assuming you mean color of text)
if you use the script in first post you can use the hue/saturation/lightness to set color of text.
to get light red for example


or you can use the script version found here it uses the color you set but because it uses a layer and set to color mode your color will just be a medium looking color (so if you choose bright red or dark red, it'll just come out average red).


The first script lets you use hue/saturation/lightness but so you have more to play with there but i never remember what hue to get right color.

just an outline, a little color,
and shadow.

great work Issabella *
good script tin!

nice one mikechat!

Very cool mikechat.

Thanks, Molly.

Thanx T, typical me - can't get the script to work, however, got garden duties on my mind so give it some more goes later, meanwhile I followed Issabella's tut, this is reflection on paintwork.

Hi T, can you tell me what I'm doing incorrectly please? I make a background layer / then a new transparent layer with text merged onto it - run the script (I'm using the first script posted in this thread)
Error: (<unknown> : 49899963) Procedure execution of gimp-image-select-item failed on invalid input arguments: Procedure 'gimp-image-select-item' has been called with value '-1' for argument 'item' (#3, type GimpItemID). This value is out of range.

This script is so long ago i forgot about it..so i can't tell you what's wrong at the top of my head..
You should attach an .xcf of yours so i can try to run the script myself and see what's wrong.

not much to go on - thanks for looking though

Here's what i got after running the script on your .xcf.

Hey ho, I tried both scripts and still ended up with -

Not to worry T - I'm stuck on space wallpaper just now, I know you, you'll want to get to the bottom of it -in Peace.

I am unable to reproduce the error on my machine so i don't what's causing that on your machine

Tran: I tried to download your script from the site but message states no longer available. Where can I download your script?

It's still there I can still download it with no problem.

Hello, I post my copy just in case you want to try it on your computer. It works great in mine. Luck

Hi Issabella, can you tell me what I'm doing incorrectly please? I make a background layer / then a new transparent layer with black text merged onto it - run the script - no joy, am I missing a trick?
