RPG Maker MZ Plugin: CT Text Style Plus — Text Color, Font Size & Outline Control

RPG Maker MZ Plugin: CT Text Style Plus — Text Color, Font Size & Outline Control

CT Text Style Plus is a simple, beginner-friendly RPG Maker MZ plugin that lets you control the default look of your game text without editing engine code.

Change your default text color, adjust your default font size, and optionally force custom outline color and outline thickness for drawn text.

This is made for creators who want cleaner, more readable UI and message text with quick plug-and-play settings.

What This Plugin Does

CT Text Style Plus lets you customize:

• Default text color
• Default font size
• Font size mode
• Font size offset
• Minimum and maximum font size clamp
• Text outline color
• Text outline thickness
• Whether defaults apply to all windows, messages only, or non-message windows only
• Whether outline applies to all drawn text or numbers only

Escape Codes Still Win

This plugin is designed to respect RPG Maker’s normal message control codes.

For example:

• If your default text color is white, but your message uses \C<span class="text-token-text-primary cursor-text rounded-sm">[2]</span>, the text will still change to color 2.
• If your default font size is changed, \{ and \} still work normally.

That means you can set a clean default style while still using RPG Maker’s built-in escape codes whenever you need special text effects.

Why Use This Plugin?

RPG Maker MZ’s default text style can be a little limiting if you want a different visual identity for your project.

CT Text Style Plus gives you a fast way to make your menus, messages, and UI text feel more polished without manually editing every window or message.

It is useful for:

• Making text easier to read
• Giving your game a consistent UI style
• Creating bolder message text
• Improving number visibility
• Adjusting text style for custom window skins
• Quickly changing default text appearance across the project
