The entire Text effects panel is Premium-only. Free accounts can open it but the controls are dimmed and uneditable.
Per-role text treatments — gradient, glow, outline, etc. Each text role on your profile (display name, @handle, bio, links, labels…) has its own row with its own colour swatches and effect picker.

How rows work

Each row gives you:
  • Colour 1 swatch — primary colour for that role.
  • Colour 2 swatch — only revealed when the effect is Gradient (or paired with Glow / Neon for the second halo color).
  • Effect dropdown — the look. Default keeps the role’s normal colour.
  • Reset — clears the row’s colours and effect.

​
Available effects

Effect (UI label)What it looks like
DefaultThe role’s stock styling — no override.
SolidPlain flat colour using the colour-1 swatch.
GradientLinear gradient from colour 1 to colour 2 across the text.
OutlineHollow letters with a 1.25 px stroke in colour 1.
GlowLetters in colour 1 with a soft 12-28 px halo (uses colour 2 for the second layer).
NeonBrighter, three-layer halo for a sign-on-the-wall look.
Soft shadowLetters in colour 1 with a soft drop shadow.
Rainbow (inline)Pre-baked five-stop rainbow gradient — colour pickers ignored.
There is no “Shimmer” or “Gradient cycle” effect — past versions of this page mentioned them, but the live picker only ships the seven effects above.

​
Mixing across roles

Each role keeps its own settings. Some examples:
  • Display name → Gradient (purple → pink), @handle → Solid (white).
  • Display name → Neon (cyan), Bio → Soft shadow (black) for legibility on busy backgrounds.
  • Links → Glow so your social chips have a subtle hover-ready halo.

​
Tips

  • Outline is great when your card panel is Transparent — letters stay readable on busy backgrounds.
  • Rainbow ignores both colour pickers; use it as a one-tap fun option.
  • Neon + Glow stacked across roles look more high-contrast than either alone.

​
Common questions

Only Gradient uses both swatches as endpoints. Glow and Neon use colour 2 as the second halo color, but if you set the same colour in both swatches it won’t be visible.
Make sure the two swatches are different hex values, and that the effect dropdown is set to Gradient (not Solid).
Different panel — see Fonts. Text effects only change colour treatments, not the typeface.
The stroke is fixed at 1.25 px — it scales with text size, so make the role’s font bigger if you want a chunkier outline.
