Text shadow

Post by c00get »

Hello, is there any way to disable text shadow for light text color? It hurts visibility because it makes the text look blurry.
I checked the config file, but it doesn't appear to be any setting for this.

All the text on your screenshot is blurry, regardless of its colour and the presence of shadow. Try turning off the font anti-aliasing. There used to be an instruction how to do that somewhere on the Wiki.

Font antialiasing is turned off, the image appeared blurry because it was resized to fit in a window. I attached a cropped image to be seen at full size.

No, there is no way to disable the shadow. (The text would probably be just as hard to read, just in a different way, if there was no shadow.)

My best suggestion is to try finding a different font, one with thicker lines. I think the problem is especially that the horizontal lines are thin and a gap appears between the line and its shadow.
