I've been trying to figure out how to change the font color from the default setting of black to other colors (IE: white, etc)? I don't see any method to achieve this in the fonts tab of the plugin. I am looking for this because my customized covers are on a black background for dark mode reasons. The black font is lost on the black covers.

It is at the bottom of the Fonts tab
Note: These are HEX values The color picker is the box with the 3 dots next to the line

"It is at the bottom of the Fonts tab

I understand what you are saying! The font tab displays hex values for Background, Border and Fill. There is no option to change the hex value for the font itself. What I am looking for is White text on my black background.

FYI - I love this plugin! I've created hundreds of personalized covers using it. Thank you for this capability.

the font color IS 'fill' (as in fill in the shape ?)

[MerryEl]

I apologize for my confusion. In my mind, I would never have correlated 'fill' with 'font'. I was looking specifically for the wording 'font'. Thank you for the explanation. I'll crawl back to my corner and return to lurking mode.

There are outline fonts ( I wonder if that is the 'Border' as we are on the Fonts tab. a balloon help might convey more on these settings)

"I wonder if that is the 'Border' as we are on the Fonts tab" I tried playing with this 'border' setting by setting the color to blue. Nothing happened to the fonts. So then I tried the Dimensions tab. I set the Border widths for both (Cover and Image) borders. These changes added a border to the cover and to the image. Both borders were the blue color I selected. This probably added to my confusion concerning how the 'fill' on the fonts tab worked. I was thinking of the process in Excel where 'fill' adds a grid or color to the selected cells/rows.

I appreciate the clarification as I'm trying to make covers for pulp magazines (ie: Galaxy) that feature the original cover image on a black background with the Magazine name, issue, and the date of publication.
