I want to change the text color of a title (XAML) using the API.

Is it possible already? I have not found a solution yet.

no but there are a few workaround options with adapted titles by sending values to hidden textfields that are binded with your visible textfields

There have been a few examples posted in the forum

Thanks, i used this solution!

Next 'problem':

I want tot put a default # in front, so i can update the color with the API using a HEX-code? Who can help me?

Quote:
{Binding Text, ElementName=COLOR_BLOCK_1}




Update: I found a solution:

Code:
http://192.168.1.26:8088/api/?function=SetText&input=1&SelectedName=homeBackgroundColor&Value=%23000000


Use: %23 to get a #.

Try using "SetTextColor" instead of "SetColor"

This is not a "flash: but a restart of the ticker animation due to change in color, font or content which is normal behaviour for a GT ticker.
A ticker is a single "animated" Textblock container you can not change during this action be it font or color.
While one can "add" content/data to the title field instead of "replace" as ticker type to get mutiple added data to one line , changing color or font will reset the animation with is current content .

Solution is t make sure one does not change color or font while content is visible during the passing of the content
