If the text item is called mytext, just use the command

mytext.set_rgb(R,G,B)

where R,G and B are from 0 to 255

You can find more info here:

i dont think it is...copied a part of the layout..using hyerpie2 theme...

erW*0.8, flyerH*0.8 );
flyer.preserve_aspect_ratio = true
}
local flx = fe.layout.width;
local fly = fe.layout.height;
}
}
/////////////////
//Game Description
////////////////
if ( glist_delay != 0 ){
if ( my_config["aspectratio"] == "16x9") {
if ( my_config["select_description"] == "On" ){
local image_bg = fe.add_image( "white.png", flx*0.719, bth, lbw, (flh - bth - bbh) );

image_bg.set_rgb(bgRGB[0],bgRGB[1],bgRGB[2])
image_bg.alpha = 150;
image_bg.visible=true;

local text = fe.add_text("info", flx*0.72, fly*0.14, flw*0.26, flh*0.7);
text.font = "AEH.ttf"
text.charsize = flx*0.015;
text.align = Align.Left;
text.word_wrap = true;
text.alpha = 255;
text.visible=true;

local box_back = fe.add_artwork( "back", flx*0.719, bth, lbw, (flh

Code: [Select]
// set color variables
text.red = 255;
text.green = 255;
text.blue = 255;

// or with a built in function
text.set_rgb(255, 255, 255);

If it still does not work, it’s being changed later in the code I assume.
