Can anyone tell me how to use the same graphics as @UnsignedArduino in the Music Requests topic, where the text for the song fades out and in for the name and artist? This would be appreciated as I have a little secret sriftreilart (not a typo)coming up and I would love for the graphics to be amazing.

PS: I want the solution in blocks please (only do Java if it can’t be done any other way)

For the color fading, I use this extension:

To print text, I use this extension:

> **[pelikhan/arcade-image-text](https://github.com/pelikhan/arcade-image-text)**
>
> Blocks to render text on images. Contribute to pelikhan/arcade-image-text development by creating an account on GitHub.

It puts blocks in the `Images` category to print text onto an image, although to be honest, I feel like this should be included by default…

oh no @UnsignedArduino, I’ve ran into a problem:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/8/84e833fc56bf3a153127dd48bedf67aaf7153787.png)

When I try to assign this variable to say something at x:120 and y:120 it says ‘Argument of type ‘String’ is not assignable to parameter of type ‘Image’’.

What’s wrong???

You want to print to an image, not a string. `word` is a string.

I think you want something like this:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/a/a7d77145b1f499c81df2568aaf7ae896ec3c319c.png)  
You can also use the `screen` block in the Images category. But are you sure you want to print to 120x120? That’s off the screen…

Oh yeah I just put in a random value tbh, and thanks for the assistance!
