subtitle edge feature #59

Open sadaemonn opened 5 years ago

sadaemonn commented 5 years ago

Can you add subtitle edge styles (like YouTube) to see text easily with %100 transparent background? It would be great if we could select edge colours too! Font shadows are not effective enough.

I understand that font shadows may not be enough. I just checked YouTube, there is a default 75% opacity black background behind the subtitle. I believe what you are asking for here is a background color for the subtitle. I'll check if this is possible. image

Sorry about my poor expression. I was talking about outline like this: ekran alisdasdntisi This feature is making reading easier amazingly. I will be very grateful if you can add this.

Text outline should be possible. I'll have to check how much work does it take.

Revisiting this. This is not hard when we use plain text only: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64290561/qlabel-correct-positioning-for-text-outline But the project now uses rich text in QLabel in all cases. Mixing rich text (HTML) and text outline/stroke is hard.
