How to Get Rid of the Yellow Border for Text in GIMP
GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) is a freeware graphics application that many people use to create graphics for Web pages and for printed documents like fliers and posters. It has many of the tools you would expect to find in a professional-level graphics editor, although the layout, tool arrangement and use are slightly different than in some other programs. One aspect of the program that can be annoying is the yellow border that pops up around text you add. While this border does not save or print out with the image, it is distracting while you're working. Fortunately, there is an easy way to get rid of it.
