Ok Folks - I landed in this forum searching on how to thicken a font.

I got that done... but I also need to Outline the font.

There in lies my problem.

I've thickened the fonts (grow X px)... but when I go to outline that grown font in a different color - its not working (it reverts back to thin font).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Getting the following Crash Debug message when closing GIMP. Tried resetting to original settings, also removed ConFig file and loaded latest version of GIMP. Still get the Debug. Anyone know how to trouble shoot this? GIMP runs normally except for this message.
Thanks, Bry...

I saw an older post where there was no solution for this.  My mouse size as set by windows is fairly large, but GIMP resizes it on my proart 17" laptop screen to a very small size and I literally need to use a magnifier to see the +/- symbols when using various tools.

Wondering if any consideration has been given to allowing a resize for this?   I am using 2.10.36.

thank you

Test is here: https://susam.net/myrgb.html  (only 16 levels per channel) No cheating allowed 

Heres a tutorial I put together,   if u want to make art like me, its kinda fun and quick.

I've done a couple of installs now and have enjoyed using Debian 12 'Bookworm' so far. Stable is not the newest deb collection but I run the latest versions of Gimp and Firefox as AppImages so I don't care

What I found? Debian puts-up a little ring fence to scare-off newbies but once past that you have the freest, most versatile system imaginable.

To get a lean and mean system decide what window manager you want first. I came from Xubuntu so I'm used to XFCE. I installed Gnome first and it looks like a mobile phone so 2nd install was just XFCE4.

Early on you see this: 'user is not in the sudoers file'
The solution is this:
#su -
#adduser user sudo                                                                 note. 'su -" is an actual command

I came across an easy way to update. Add this to a .bashrc

I'm making a 10 or so page picture book with my sister,  its only really basic sentences going in it for children to read.

Its got some abstract photos and some illustrations,  I just managed to get it together with my hap-hazzard ability to paint and draw.

Hello,
 how to create a retro digital watch background in Gimp that has the outlines of the numbers, like Casio watches for example?

Appearance must have 8-bit RBG colors and be partially transpatent.

I am attaching a picture for a better idea.

I am using Gimp version 2.10.

Looking for suggestions on how to remove or reduce a pattern like this without destroying what detail there is. Including a Google Drive link since it's not letting me embed pics in posts. 

Thanks!
