Double click on the text tool, or File-Dialogs-Tool Options You can select colors, font sizes, fonts, justification, etc from there. If you have a text layer selected, you can modify its behaviour through this same dialog Jeff Well bloody hell Sure enough. I wasn't looking there. I guess I was expecting all the options to be in the pop up box as they were with dynamic text. My bad. Thanks to you and a few others for point out what I should have found on my own. Feeling like an idiot now Adrian P.S. but I still need that render glow filter.

IIRC that's a gimp-perl filter, so you should probably install gimp-perl if you need it. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Hi, Linux GIMP wrote: P.S. but I still need that render glow filter. I hope someone adds that soon. IIRC, glowa(isn't it Alien Glow?) was a script-fu which basically did a layer copy, fill with glow color (keeping transparency), and a gaussian blur with radius 100 or so (not keeping transparency) on the big copy, auto-stretch contrast, then raise the original layer above the first... Does this look more or less like that plug-in's results? That plug-in is in 2.0 in the same menu location (script-fu - Alpha to Logo - Alien Glow). If it's another plug-in, you have lost me :) Ah - just started up 1.2.5 to check, and Filters-Render-Add Glow is indeed in there - it's a GIMP Perl script, and I assume, although I'm not sure, that it is still in 2.0. gimp-perl can be downloaded from CPAN or from ftp.gimp.org (in pub/gimp/plug-ins/v2.0/gimp-perl).

[Gimp-user] Re: dynamic text glow, what happened to them?
Dynamic text is no longer needed, because the things it did are now done by the regular text tool (and done a lot better, too!). I don't know about the glow filter, but there are indeed some filters that have not yet been ported from Gimp 1.2 to Gimp 2.0.
