OverlineTitleCard

Background

These cards are structurally similar to the Standard card type, but a thin line is drawn surrounding the episode text (to the width of the title text). This line can be re-colored and positioned separately from the title text.

This card type is used whenever card_type is specified as overline.

Example

Spoiler

Blurred

Multiple Lines of Text

Rather than shifting the line and season/episode text up as more lines of text are added to the title, this card positions the line between each line of each. Like so:

This does mean that when specifying a custom Font, it is important to correctly the the interline_spacing attribute so that the episode text and line are not covered.

Valid extras

Below is a table of all valid series extras parsed by this card. These are described in greater detail below.

Label Default Value Description
episode_text_color white Color to utilize for the episode text
line_color white Color of the line
line_position top Where to position the line and episode text
line_width 7 Thickness of the line (in pixels)
line_toggle true Whether to display the line or not
separator_character - Character to separate the season and episode text
omit_gradient false Whether to omit the gradient overlay from the card

Customization

Line Customization

The line can be separately toggled, re-colored, and re-positioned with extras.

Toggle

The line can be completely hidden by setting line_toggle to false.

Color

The color of the line can be separately adjusted via the line_color extra. The default value is white.

Width

The thickness/width of the line can be adjusted via the line_width extra. The default value is 7, and the unit is in pixels.

Position

By default, the line is over the title text (hence the name) - however, the line can also be positioned below the text by setting line_position to bottom.

For example, the following uses a custom line color and the bottom line position:

Episode Text Color

Like most other cards, the color of the episode text can also be adjusted via the episode_text_color extra. The default value is white.

Removing the Gradient Overlay

By default, this title card overlays a gradient on top of the source image so that the text is more legible on the card. This can be disabled via a series [extra](https://github.com/CollinHeist/TitleCardMaker/wiki/Series-YAML-Files#extras), like so:
extras:
  omit_gradient: true
