I modified the code to better draw the text outline depending on the content of the square or circle.  I added a checkbox "outline text" however at the last moment removed it because I beleive the changes I made will do it.  Can you please try the latest http://www.genopro.com/monica/ and let me know if it is correct.


Unfortunately I can see very little improvement with version 2.5.2.5. The outline of the age in the gender symbol is maybe slightly improved, but for example if you change 'Arcturus Black' size to extra large you get

which I think illustrates some of the issues with outlined text when no border background is present. I believe the best solution would be to retain the 2.0.1.6 text background color as an option.

Also this version has not addressed the issue of transparent background to the border of gender symbols. I agree with vlepore's suggestion that when importing an earlier .gno then backgrounds should be set to be opaque to maintain compatibility.

I just noticed this change in the new version, having been away from my projects for a few weeks due to work and other commitments, and I have to second the request to bring back the opaque borderless text option. In fact, it should be the default setting, because having the parental line visible by default just interferes with the display of the name. My 2 cents, anyway.
