Is there an "None" option for text outline?

I think I'd like the looks of text without any outline colour. Is there any way of doing so in CUSTOM?

Well, if you're working with slices, you could use set outline. I don't think there's a way to do it with default text though.

Actually I realized my question was silly. I can just make the text outline the same as the textbox background to get this effect...

As long as all of your boxes (including menus) have the same background color...

Currently they don't, but they will. I want everything to look very cohesive when it's all said and done.

You could even set the outline colour to an otherwise unused colour in the master palette and use a script to set it to the same colour as the background.

Additional options for both textbox appearance and fonts is actually something that's half complete and which I hope we get done in the not-entirely-distant future.

Oh silly me, you can just use setoutline on the text slice of the textbox:
Code:
plotscript, hide text outline, begin
  set outline(lookup slice(sl:textbox text), false)
end

This script needs to be called every time a textbox is shown (all slices aside from the textbox root are recreated)

Cool. And that's a good idea. Might be best since I just realized that the font in my battles looks weird due to lack of dark text outline.
