Getting better and better - well done!

I really love the Ticker and at this moment I'm using it for some P2000 RSS feeds and the weather forecast.

I have added the alarm messages from our national weather service as RSS and would like to show the alarm code in the same colors, but I can only find in the config how to assign 1 color to a number of words and I would like red orange yellow and green (these are the national codes). Is there a possibility to show multiple colors in the ticker text?

Is there a possibility to show multiple colors in the ticker text?

Thanks for the request.
It is good, if you could share the URL of the RSS feed.

Hi Nek,

Thanks for the reply, I've followed your instruction and at first it didn't work as I hoped but that was my own thinking error. At this moment it works perfect and the 'Code geel' gives a nice yellow text. I'm really pleased with it, thanks for the best ticker I've had.

The URL that I used
https://cdn.knmi.nl/knmi/xml/rss/rss_KNMIwaarschuwingen.xml

As soon there is a weather alarm they send the code rood (red) code oranje (orange) code geel (Yellow) and code groen (green) in the RSS line and I like to have the words in de same color and it works perfect!!
