The size of the text outline.

\ **Note:** If using a font with :ref:`FontFile.multichannel_signed_distance_field<class_FontFile_property_multichannel_signed_distance_field>` enabled, its :ref:`FontFile.msdf_pixel_range<class_FontFile_property_msdf_pixel_range>` must be set to at least *twice* the value of :ref:`outline_size<class_LinkButton_theme_constant_outline_size>` for outline rendering to look correct. Otherwise, the outline may appear to be cut off earlier than intended.

----

.. _class_LinkButton_theme_style_focus:

.. rst-class:: classref-themeproperty

:ref:`StyleBox<class_StyleBox>` **focus** :ref:`🔗<class_LinkButton_theme_style_focus>`

:ref:`StyleBox<class_StyleBox>` used when the **LinkButton** is focused. The :ref:`focus<class_LinkButton_theme_style_focus>` :ref:`StyleBox<class_StyleBox>` is displayed *over* the base :ref:`StyleBox<class_StyleBox>`, so a partially transparent :ref:`StyleBox<class_StyleBox>` should be used to ensure the base :ref:`StyleBox<class_StyleBox>` remains visible. A :ref:`StyleBox<class_StyleBox>` that represents an outline or an underline works well for this purpose. To disable the focus visual effect, assign a :ref:`StyleBoxEmpty<class_StyleBoxEmpty>` resource. Note that disabling the focus visual effect will harm keyboard/controller navigation usability, so this is not recommended for accessibility reasons.
