Oh, whoa&#8230;  Here comes the 5th software submission of the month.  This new software submission is called <strong>TextAround<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>TextAround is a desktop application that lets you easily design colorful, circular text.  You can apply a color gradation to text.  What you see is what you get.  And you can save this circular text as an image in BMP, GIF, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG or TIFF. &nbsp;<!--more--><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<table width=\"450\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"220\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/textaround\/textaround_01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/textaround\/thumbnail__textaround_01.jpg\" width=\"220\" height=\"140\" alt=\"Mac software TextAround\"\/><\/a><\/a><\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td width=\"220\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/textaround\/textaround_02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/textaround\/thumbnail__textaround_02.jpg\" width=\"220\" height=\"140\" alt=\"Mac software TextAround\"\/><\/a><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<table width=\"422\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" bordercolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\n<tr>\n<td>\n<table width=\"420\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td>Available at Mac App Store<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table width=\"420\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\" valign=\"middle\">\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"macappstore:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/id734155155\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/available-on-mac-app-store.jpg\" alt=\"Mac App Store\" width=\"160\" height=\"48\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<u>Features<\/u><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Choose a font and a text size.
