Is it possible to add text outline?

Is it possible to add outline to the text? Not shadow, pure outline. The shadow doesn’t work very well when you want the chat to be transparent on light background :frowning:

OBS Chat doesn’t add shadows, so I’m not sure what you are referring to.

I am referring to this:
text-shadow:-1px 0 #000000,
0 1px #000000,
1px 0 #000000,
0 -1px #000000;
This doesn’t work entirely well for transparent chat. Pure outline would be much better, I think, but I can’t figure out how to do it, and whether it’s possible at all.

As already stated, OBS Chat doesn’t add shadows. If you’re using something other than https://www.nightdev.com/obschat/, you’re getting support in the wrong place.

Uh, you don’t understand or don’t want to understand?
I am talking about the CSS customization tab in the source’s properties.
You even mention it in the installation dialogue! " If you’re an advanced user (meaning you know CSS), you can also choose to use “None” and style chat yourself."

http://css3clickchart.com/#text-stroke might be of some use to you then.

Thank you, I’ll try that.

Ok that seems to work. I’d like to replicate the style of the predefined styles though, could you share the code used for the dark version please?
