Color coding text

[Eonsv]

Hello,
Do anyone know if it is possible, through scripting, to modify the color of the text individually for each song? Ideally I'd like to write a script which changes the text of the songs in the now playing field according to each songs genre. An alternative would be to change the background of each song, if its not possible to change the text color.

Yes, this is possible. It's undocumented, but you can just use the "Color" method, like this...

Code: Select all

  Set list = SDB.CurrentSongList
  For i = 0 To list.Count-1
    Set itm = list.Item(i)
    itm.Color = 8421504
  Next

I can't remember how the value works exactly, but the example I've given is grey (the same as if a track is inaccessible) and it's 0 for black.

I've just scanned back through my emails and the number is an integer worked out by first getting the RRGGBB hex code (like you would for HMTL) and then converting the hexidecimal into decimal.

Thanks a lot for the help!
