Dictionary Card Type

This card design was created by CollinHeist, and the design was inspired by this shampoo bottle I saw at the grocery store.

Cards of this style resemble a game score (hence the name), and feature a prominent centered title, with the season and episode text in the corners of the image. All text can be re-positioned and colored with extras.

Labeled Dictionary Card Elements

Background Color

The color of the background box can be adjusted with the Background Color extra.

Example

Definition Text

Color

The color of the defintion text can be adjusted with the Definition Color extra. If unspecified, this defaults to matching the color of the title text.

Example

Italicize Toggle

The definition text is italicized by default. This can be turned off by setting Italicize Definition Toggle to False.

Example

Line Limits

The definition text will be dynamically split into multiple lines in order to fit the width of the rectangle. The maximum number of lines of displayed text can be adjusted with the Definition Line Limit extra.

If the number of lines is longer than this limit then the definition text will be truncated and [...] will be added to the end.

Example

Quotes

By default, quotes are added around the definition text. This can be disabled by setting the Quote Definition Toggle extra to False.

Example

Size

The size of the definition text can be adjusted with the Definition Font Size extra. Like all font sizes, values greater than 1.0 will increase the size of the text, and values less than 1.0 will decrease it.

Example

Text

The text itself can be adjusted with the Defintion Text extra.

Example

Position

The overall position of the background and all text elements can be adjusted with the Position extra. This needs to be formatted like +x+y, where the x and y values are how far from the bottom left corner of the image. Technically you can specify negative x or y values (i.e. -100-100), but this will partially obscure the content.

Example

Separator Character

The separator character is used to join the title and season/episode text. This can be adjusted with the Separator Character extra. To remove this character completely, specify "".

Example

Word Text

Color

The color of the word text can be adjusted with the Word Text Color extra. If unspecified, this color defaults to matching the color of the title text.

Example

Size

The size of the definition text can be adjusted with the Word Text Font Size extra. Like all font sizes, values greater than 1.0 will increase the size of the text, and values less than 1.0 will decrease it.

Be aware that decreasing the size of the word text may result in truncating more of the definition text.

Example

Text

The text used in the "word" position itself can be adjusted with the Word Text extra. This field supports Format Strings, and the default value ({series_name.lower()}) will add the series name in lowercase text.

Example

Mask Images

This card also natively supports mask images. Like all mask images, TCM will automatically search for alongside the input Source Image in the Series' source directory, and apply this atop all other Card effects.
