The Text HUD includes the following controls:
Opacity: By default, the opacity of text is set to 100%. Use the slider to change the opacity
value of the text layer—the text face, outline, glow, and drop shadow. This is is the Opacity
parameter located in the Properties tab of the Inspector. To individually change the text
style elements (Face, Outline, Glow, and Drop Shadow), use the Style pane of the Text
Inspector.
