Problem with time text changing colour

Post by Mike199030 »

I have a text string that’s coloured red, whenever the time changes from a skin refresh the text turns black. Is there something I may be doing wrong? Or a work around?

EDIT: I’m using inline settings on the string, the day and time on the same string

It's useless to ask something like this, without posting a code. So, please post one.

Simply add a DynamicVariables=1 option to the [MeterRight] meter. This option is required because the meter uses section variables into the InlinePatternX options (for instance InlinePattern3=#CRLF#[Measure24HrTime]$) and section variables are requiring to set the dynamic variables.
