Text Box Styling

When you select a text box in the Image View, the Text Box Style Panel appears in the Right Panel. This panel gives you granular control over the visual appearance of your text boxes, allowing you to match source styles or create entirely new designs for your translated text.

The panel is organized into sections for Shape, Typography, and Presets.

1. Shape Style Panel

This section controls the text box container's background, border, and overall shape.

Fill (Background)

Fill Type:
- Solid: Fills the background with a single Fill Color.
- Linear Gradient: Creates a smooth gradient between a Start Color and End Color. You can also adjust the Midpoint and Direction (e.g., Horizontal, Vertical).

Stroke (Border)

Width: Sets the border thickness in pixels. A value of 0 means no border.
Color: Sets the color of the border.

Shape

Bubble Type: Choose the overall shape of the text box.
- Rectangle: A standard rectangular box.
- Rounded Rectangle: A rectangle with adjustable rounded corners.
- Ellipse: An oval or circular shape.
- Speech Bubble: A rounded rectangle with a "tail" to indicate speech.
Radius: (For Rounded Rectangle and Speech Bubble only) Controls the roundness of the corners.

2. Typography Style Panel

This section controls the appearance of the text itself within the box.

Text Color

Color Type:
- Solid: Sets the text to a single, solid Color.
- Linear Gradient: Fills the text with a gradient, with the same controls as the background fill.

Font

Font Family: Select from a dropdown of all fonts installed on your system, plus any custom fonts placed in the tool's assets/fonts directory.
Font Style: Choose a specific font weight or style (e.g., "Regular", "Bold", "Italic"), if available for the selected font family.
Font Size:
- Size: Manually set the font size in points.
- Auto: (Checkbox) When checked, the font size automatically adjusts to best fit the text box dimensions. This is very useful for preventing text overflow.
Style Toggles: Apply Bold or Italic formatting.
Alignment: Set the text alignment within the box: Align Left, Align Center, or Align Right.
