My bad, I was running 8.3.0, and updating to 8.3.4 fixed the issue. Thanks for the quick help!

On a different note, is it possible to adjust a variable when using {shader}? For example, if the default glow color is pink, can I turn it blue on demand without setting up a separate GlowBlue shader?

So yes, you can change the variables of the shaders using the method included in the Ren'Py official documentation. I need to take the time to write up a cheat sheet for the shaders so people can see the variables without needing to dive into rows of code.

Most of everything is customizable, let me know if there's anything you can't easily change and I'll see if I can make an update to expose it or make some more easily utilized knobs.

Thank you, this is exactly what I was missing!

"{shader=HollowGlow:u__glow_color=#0000BB}" ended up being the solution. I'm so happy about how flexible these shaders are. Thank you again!

Yep, that should cover it!

I need to write up something to help people make variable shor thands for their customizations. Transforms are a great vehicle for that for displayable shaders but there's not a documented equal for text shaders yet.
