I use multiple titles for each game that I do. I use an excel document to set the GT titles up using datasources. I need to change the text color every game and I have to go through each title to do this. Is there a way to change the color of text using datasources?

I don't mind using UTC if I need to do so, but I don't know how to do that either. I searched the forum and can't find an answer that fits my specific issue.

Thanks
Richard

There is a shortcut function "SetTextColor"

One could create a .Bat file instructing each text in each title to change color through httprequest.
If you have a 4K or Pro license you could do the same in a script or based it on a value of one text set by the datasource witht a script

There will be mor ways but seems this would be the quickest/simplest after creating it once

I found this response from you based on the feature request I suggested today.

I am not a developer so, I am not sure how to pull your suggestion off. Do know where I could get some instructions to do it as a non developer?
