Hi, I was wondering how I can change the color of one word in a sentence. For example, in the following screenshot,

how would I change the color of "5:42" and leave the rest black?

Thanks,
Summit

But chances are you can separate the time from the rest of the string and just make three meters, the first and third being string meters with the actual text and the second being the time.
Post the code for specific help.

Thats the first method I thought of, but that seemed like a noob method, as it is very clumbersome. Is was searching for another way, such as in HTML, where you can make a word bold:
"the last word in this sentence is <b>bold</b>."

Thanks,

Rainmeter doesn't work like that, sorry to say. Although it'd be interesting if it could.

Even if it were the case, it wouldn't be that simple.
This should work, just change the FontColor of MeterTime1 and delete [MeasureTime] and [MeterTime] in the current .ini. Make sure [MeterTime] is where the old [MeterTime] was.
The x, y, and Angle lines may need some fine tuning if it doesn't look right.
