Text Positioning

The overall position of both the episode/numeral and title text can be set to the left or right side of the image. This is controlled with the Text Side extra. This can be set to left, right, or random. If set to random, then TCM will randomly select a side when the Card is generated.

Examples

Episode Text Adjustments

In the Negative Space card, the episode text is the large numeral which is positioned on the side of the image.

Color

The color of the episode text can be adjusted with the Episode Text Color extra. If unspecified, it defaults to matching the font color.

Examples

Size

The size of the episode text can be adjusted with the Episode Text Font Size extra. Values above 1.0 increase the size of the text, and values below 1.0 decrease it.

Examples

Position

Horizontal Shift

The horizontal position of the episode/numeral text can be adjusted with the Episode Text Horizontal Shift extra. Positive values shift the episode text towards the opposite side of the card, and negative ones shift it out.

TCM uses a different base horizontal offset for the number based on the first number of the episode text. For example - the number 14 (starting with 1) will be positioned slightly differently than 61 (starting with 6).

Examples

Vertical Shift

The vertical position of the episode/numeral text can be adjusted with the Episode Text Vertical Shift extra. Positive values shift the episode text down, and negative values shift it up.

Examples

Title Text Horizontal Shift

The horizontal position of the title text can be adjusted with the Title Text Horizontal Shift extra.

Examples

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.
