overlay with multiple colors to colorize white text

Post by aaintveld »

Hello all,

I'm using a piece of QC (.qtz) to read a bit of xml (actually, rss-feed, stored in a local .csv file with some xml around it).
The .qtz works just fine in RA 4.

It displays texts & numbers, all in white.
If i add color-tags in the xml, RA / QC seems to ignore them.
I can change the overall font-color in QC, but I need 4 lines of text to have 6 different colors.

I was hoping, i could drop an image on the cell in RA with the .qtz file, this image containing the 6 colored areas, turning all the white into .... yes .... colors.

it seems this only works as a mask, (un)hiding areas of the underlying clip, having nothing to do with colorizing.

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks
Arie

hmmm starting to find it ... using 6-colors image on a cell in a lower layer, and setting upper layer (containing the .qtz file) to 50 Mask.

Or is there a more elegant / robust way?

thx
