This page shows options for:
- Text - The actual content field for the object or “code” for specialized text. Actual is static text and “code” would be dynamic variables (e.g.,
<taskerLastChecked>) to display real-time data from external apps like Tasker orMMMM d, yfor month date, year. - Capitalize all - A toggle checkbox that, when checked, forces all text within the object to appear in uppercase letters regardless of the input source.
- Typeface - Opens the font selection dialog to choose the font family for the text.
- Font size - Sets the height of the text characters.
- Scale X(%) - Adjusts the horizontal width of the text characters, allowing the text to stretch or compress font width without changing its height.
- Text color - Selects the default color for the text.
- Text color (pressed) - Selects the color the text will change to temporarily when the object is tapped by the user (provides visual feedback for interactions).
- Shadow color - Sets the color of the drop shadow behind the text.
- Shadow radius - Determines the blurriness or spread of the drop shadow; a value of 0 results in sharp edges.
- Shadow offset X - Moves the drop shadow horizontally (positive values move right, negative move left).
- Shadow offset Y - Moves the drop shadow vertically (positive values move down, negative move up).
- Alignment - Toggles the horizontal justification of the text within its bounding box (e.g., Left, Center, Right).
- Background - Opens the background settings to apply colors, images, or effects behind the text object.
- Margins - Configures the padding around the text object, defining the distance between the text and the edges of its bounding box (Left, Top, Right, Bottom).
