 With the macros `HIDE_PERSON_SPRITE()`, `SHOW_PERSON_SPRITE()` and `SHOW_PERSON_PORTRAIT()` it is possible to change the person related default sprite or person layout itself. `SHOW_PERSON_SPRITE()` is the default.
 
 - **HIDE_PERSON_SPRITE()**: deactivates the default sprite
 - **SHOW_PERSON_SPRITE()**: activates the default sprite "person"
 - **SHOW_PERSON_SPRITE($sprite)**: activates a specific sprite as default sprite
-- **SHOW_PERSON_PORTRAIT()**: activates portrait outline instead of a rectangle
+- **SHOW_PERSON_PORTRAIT()**: activates portrait instead of a rectangle
+- **SHOW_PERSON_OUTLINE()**: activates person outline instead of a rectangle
 
 "person" and "person2" are predefined sprites which can be used as default sprite too.
