  • bah! i just saw that too.. px.. thanks!

  • i figured that one out just now thanks! any idea how i change the font size? my attempts at things like:

    "font-size" and "20" don't appear to work.

  • Ashley is it possible to open up more options for text entry? no color options or anything else for this. I imagine it's not a widely used object compared to others but it would be nice so nice if it were setup like the others.

    I'm currently trying to figure out which combination is for color so i can get it to be white text instead of black.

  • and I did learn that this "css" thing is an action in the event sheet. I'd not realized that was in there among the other options of the text input object.

  • in the original post the person never explained how to get the css window he showed in the screenshot.

    This is from C3, but i saw this very same thing in C2 when posting the question.

    Unless since that post they fixed it. That was around a year ago that I posted the C2 question.

  • text input not text box. the text input object is the one you can type in. it has a permanent white background and no obvious way to turn that off. A text box (one that can't be typed into) does by default have a transparent background.

  • Hi there,

    I ran into this problem with C2 and I see it's still a thing in C3.

    bottom line is that would like a Text Input object to have a transparent background. There doesn't appear to be a checkbox or otherwise to make this possible with that object.

    Thanks,

  • Ashley I think that's a great addition. I don't deal with hidden layers much (other than to make sure things are grouped quickly) so that was never really a thing for me.

  • Hi everyone,

    So this is something that goes way back to even C2 and it MUST END!

    Would it be possible to prevent objects from being dragged into locked layers? I don't know how many times I've locked a layer and forgotten to click a different unlocked layer only to have it be stuck in the locked layer unmovable or even unelectable.. then i have to unlock the layer.. move the item.. etc..

    Yes I know.. "don't drag things on the locked layer dude".. yes yes yes.. but i imagine i'm not the only person who's done this and i just wondered if this is a thing that's just me or others have experienced this minor quirk but one that also seems like it could be equally easy to fix and make a better UX.

    If all layers are locked for some reason the item just wouldn't drag over.. like the non-dragable system objects.

    Thanks,

  • bump. i droped this awhile back and now I'm using C3 with the same issue. how did you set a CSS value? I imagine it's similar in C3, but still no idea how to make "set css style" in C2/C3

  • awesome! TY Ashley

  • ah ok for mac it's the Apple button.. just surprised there is no zoom in the UI. I thought I remember that being in there. Still, this is great. Thanks!

    Caleb

  • This is kinda crazy but why don't i see any obvious zoom controls in C3?

    i see the current zoom level (100%) but no way to change it anywhere.

    Thanks,
