The Facecast face bubble: nine shapes, nine positions, size, border, shadow, camera zoom and mirror, and how to place it with the keys.

In the bubble layout your face is a shape over the content.

Shape#

Circle, rounded, squircle, square, 16:9, 4:3, portrait, capsule or hexagon.

Place and size#

Choose one of nine positions, or drag the bubble on the stage. It snaps to corners, edges and thirds; hold Alt to place it freely, and double-click jumps between corners. [ and ] change the size, G goes to the next position and Alt with the arrows nudges it.

Border and shadow#

No border, a solid colour, a gradient (which can spin) or a picture, from 0 to 32 px, and an optional shadow.

Camera#

Zoom from 1 to 3 times, and mirror. Save all of it in a Look.
