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.

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)

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 ) See also this post https://forums.vmix.com/...c-progress-bar#post93365
