Hi! I know in vMix 25 there is a possibility to edit layer color in new COLOR tab. But how to edit color in vMix 23? There is no such tab. Any suggestions? I know somehow people do it. For example, instead red I want to make green. I need it for sports events to indicate teams colors. And this color should be shown in several inputs. Thank you!

Seems in v23 only script can help me (or prepaing 30 files with different pic colors), but I can't code (( And I have no possibility to upgrade to v25, as it probably has stricter system requirements (and I am already on the edge, streaming from laptop 2 cameras with replays, 2 FULL HD streams and local FULL HD recording). Thank you anyway!

enter "charmap" (without quotes) in the windows searchfield. this is a little windows font-preview app from where you can select a character and copy it into the clipboard. there you will find in the ARIAL font the blockcharacter and also other symbols, like dots, arrows etc. which you can use in your titles and change colors of them, because they are fonts not symbols. now you can change the color like this: Code: API.Function("SetTextColour",Input:="smallresult.gtzip",SelectedName:="homecolor.Text",Value:="red")
or with argb values like this Code: API.Function("SetTextColour",Input:="smallresult.gtzip",SelectedName:="homecolor.Text",Value:="aaFF0000")
another way is to upgrade for 60$ to the newest vMix version, which supports also changing color of symbols. attached a gtzip example, using blockcharacters, as doggy stated. smallresult.gtzip (82kb) downloaded 1 time(s).this also works for the older .xaml titles (Legacy Title Designer) smallresult.xaml (2kb) downloaded 1 time(s).
