While not directly one can change a "fake" rectangle color change using shortcuts, a script or manually

just create a fake rectangle by using a TextBlock filled with ASCII character 219
Change the color using the SetTextColour with a shortcut or in the title editor color picker
To automate it use a script that checks the color data in a hidden textblock

or just use regular rectangles and change them in the title designer or replace images used as background ;-)

That's a great method of doing that, how would I change the color of a gradient, that is bound to a text element and expands or substracts with the number of characters typed in the text field. I still think vMix should expose the color value of these items.

Ask colordata1. Text how to change the color code ?

thank you



Right click the title editor and select another color or type it in just as one would otherwise change a color of text
As for the colordata1 specifically , the content is read by a script to perform a color change function

See comments in the video (YT)

You can use argb values or colornames from here https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_names.asp
Code:
API.Function("SetTextColour",Input:="titlename.gtzip",SelectedName:="colordata1.Text",Value:="transparent")

Thank you

Thank you for your code

But this code doesn't seem to work


Blindly copying code is not going to work
Check out the same named shortcut and it needs and compare that to that function

Can you please tell me how to script to get info from colordata to fill information of the rectangle?

Thanks

Hey @doggy! Is it possible to change the size (width) of rectangle within GT Title? I wanted to make a simple progress bar.

Need a slightly different approach for a progress bar like in this video ( say fill it with "invisible" periods, or have the rectangle on top of it )

Need to build error trapping within your script !

Easiest is using a Try Catch statement

Thanks very much. Just a little off-topic, how did you made page-to-page GT title like this? I tried some ways to make one like this but failed.

As mentioned in the video description : using OnDataChange within the title animation

fadetitle.JPG (44kb) downloaded 8 time(s).

Data Source is like
Name1, Subject...
Name2, Subject...
Name3, Subject...
