4.0.0-1 : The font is too inflexible

[Lehmeiers]

Hello!
The font is too inflexible for me, so I would like to suggest that it becomes more flexible.

I have in mind that you can use and format the installed fonts. E.G.:

1. change the font size
2. change the font color
3. change the formatting of the text (e.g. centered, right-, left flush, centered).

I got as feedback to a slide show, that the text below is hard to read and therefore I would like to adjust it - unfortunately this is not possible in this version.

Sincerely R.Lehmeier

Actually you can do a lot for styling the subtitles but i admit it is not intuitive. Its more like advanced usage. Maybe you are little familiar with html ;-)
Per default the subtitle text for each picture is generated into a separate subtitle file (srt file). This is processed by your video player and the subtitles are rendered separately with your settings in your video player. You can turn it on or off. VLC supports it very well. You can also burn the subtitles into the rendered slideshow. Set it up like the following screenshot:

1. Change the property Subtitle to "render" (use double-click to edit the property)
2. Change the property SubtitleSettings to "valignment=top;shaded-background=true;halignment=left;font-desc=Sans 32"

Then you can use styling within the subtitle text of each picture. For instance try <b>Hello</b> <s>world2</s>.

The result in the video looks like this:

Thank you. I will give it a try.

But it would be nice if it would be more comfortable, then surely more users would use it.

Comfortable and fast work is not only fun, but also increases efficiency.
