Additionally, all premade textures have their own “blank” variants, which turns the entire decal into a white silloute of itself. In order to use blank variant decals, prefix the premade texture you want to use with the word “blank.” (i.e., blankgrasstall, blankcheckbox, etc.)

“Shape” textures also exist, which are white silhouettes of basic geometric shapes or numerals. All “shape” premade textures are alphabetically listed below:
