you're doing it the hard way.
Things for you take notice of:
- this is not 'Text' it's a drawing of text.
That means it's a drawing and not actual text.
- there are overlays for each button state.
Often these overlays are exactly the same.
Change one and then just use '
Save As' to change the others for that button.
- unless you want to change the font style, just manipulate the 'text' as a drawing.
In Gimp for, use the rectangle selection tool to select only the 'text' for all three button states.
Click on '
Colors' in the menu bar and select '
Hue-Saturation'.
Turn the lightness all the way down for darker text.
click OK.
If it's not dark enough, repeat the process.
- If you are also trying to change the font style, your best practice is to create a new transparent layer.
Just right click the current layer and select
New Layer.
Then make sure '
Transparency' is selected the pop up window before clicking
OK.
The new layers allow you to move resize and align before altering the actual file.
this allows you to use the original text as a guide to line up the new text.
you can the either 'Flatten' all the layers to save the file as a PNG or right click on the top layer in the layer window and select New Layer from Visible.
Delete all other layers before saving the new layer.
the last method shold avoid issues caused by Exporting.
- If the pink lines get altered accidentally, it will make the image look bad.
If they are now showing up in the image they have been moved out of their position against the edges or they are no longer pure pink.
