Hi Folks,

I have a piece of working code:

Code:
request2 = HttpWebRequest.Create("http://127.0.0.1:8088/api/?function=SetTextColour&Input=Videotimer&value=red")
//I cut out response etc...
;


as soon as I try to call the colour via hex e.g. #FF0000 it is not working.
wether it throws an exception
or the text gets transparent? colour value in title editor then is "00000000"

I tried $"....value={#FF0000}" (transparent) ; $"....value='{#FF0000}'" (exception) and what not

anybody a clue?
