Custom shapes

These look really great especially the Christmas tree. How do I access this to use as cloud shape?

You need to find christmas tree image on the internet, download it to your computer and then select it as your custom shape image.

You can find the image I used here.

I need to order a customized shape for 30 people in my group. HOWEVER it randomly picks out names and makes them bigger than others. Is there a way that we can choose the word(s) that we would like to make stand out? Right now it's a person's name in our group and we would rather something else. Is it possible to do that OR is it possible to make 30 names for 30 different people to be highlighted?

whenever i select a custom shape and hit visualise my word disappear how do i get a better heart shape ???

@shalondajay. If under "stand out" you mean bigger than just increase the weight (second column in Tags source -> Table section) of the names you wan to "stand out". Please let me know if it works for you or not.

I used your custom shape of a tree, i put in all my tags and the colours I wanted, why does the tree wording come out all black rather than the colours i chose? Is there any way round this if you use an image to use your own colours? If not can you not add trees, more hearts, animals, shapes etc on so we can just pick them to add our own colours on? If you could it would make things a lot easier. I sometimes use Tagxedo Creator which has got about 30 different shapes etc but I prefer your website cos you can customize the colours. Any chance you could add more of a variety of shapes and pictures. I noticed there is a section of coloured shapes but i dont know how to get in to them

@Caronk, thank you for your feedback!

1) Your tree wording cam out all black probably because of "Custom shape colors" check box (in "Colors and Animations" section) was checked. Try unchecking it and visualize your cloud.

2) Regarding more shapes. I absolutely agree with you that it is needed to add more shapes. I am currently working on a complete re-write of cloud form to HTML5 platform and I will add more shapes there. I hope to release it in March/April. So please stay tuned.

3) Colored shapes allows you to select colored (non black and white) images as your cloud shape and your words will be colored in shape's colors. Just find a colored image and try it as your cloud shape and you will understand how it works.

Can't wait for HTML5/iPAd friednly version! Will share with all my teachers :)
