FAQ
How do I add my own font?
Please check out Custom Fonts.
Can I lock the position of my digital signage text?
You can lock any object you have in your content. Locking an object ensures that the object stays where it’s supposed to be and cannot be resized or removed. Read more about Locking Objects.
How do I make my digital signage text bigger than 100?
The text size slider only operates from 0 to 100, but you can always use the arrow up/down or simply resize the text.
How do I match the color of my digital signage text?
In the settings, you’ll find a color-picker next to where you usually pick a solid color; click the color-picker, then the color you want. (Note that this only works within the canvas.)
Can I use shortcuts to add text?
Yes. SHIFT+T adds a new text box to your canvas. Find more keyboard shortcuts.
