Or to put in another way...BUMP.
Looking at the autorun script, I'm not 100% sure why this worked before. For the rss feed, strings aren't added at the time of display. All the strings are added at once, and then the text widget plays one widget after the other. There is no process or checks for background or text color during playback. There's no way to tell which rss item is playing at any given moment in the widget. I don't know why this worked before but it's not going to work now.
One possibility is to use the newest brightauthor, and put your rss items into livetext fields, maybe, one livetext object/page for each rss item. And, then we can customize the processing of the livetext items to add the color change you're looking for. Unlike a text ticker, each livetext item is manuall processed.
Can't find what you're looking for?
