Springboard Description text color
Hi,
I'm looking to set the color of the description/synopsis text in the springboard screen, because the default color doesn't pop very well against the background color I want to use.
I'm setting it basically as follows:
However, it seems the color only takes effect if on the springboard screen I set the set the description style to "video".
If I set the description style to movie, the color doesn't take effect. (I've only considered "movie" and "video" so far)
I was planning to use the "movie" style so that I could also get the HD graphic on the springboard page, which looks like it's not included when the style is "video". Is there a way to get the best of both worlds? i.e. Custom description text color and HD indicator?

Re: Springboard Description text color
yes i am having this same issue and have tried the following and i am using
also tried with "generic" and "movie"
and the following i tried all combos but its still not changing the color
its a very faint greyish blue color which doesn't show up on our grey background.
I see that the Koldcast channel has is white and the rest the Bluish color. so i know its possible.
Chris if that is your channel can you tell us how you did that? i thought i read you did the KoldCast channel
screen.SetDescriptionStyle("video")
also tried with "generic" and "movie"
and the following i tried all combos but its still not changing the color
theme.EpisodeSynopsisText = "#000000"
theme.EpisodeSynopsisColorText = "#000000"
theme.EpisodeSynopsisTextColor = "#000000"
theme.SpringboardSynopsisColorText = "#000000"
theme.SpringboardSynopsisText = "#000000"
theme.SpringboardSynopsisTextColor = "#000000"
its a very faint greyish blue color which doesn't show up on our grey background.

Re: Springboard Description text color
bittersweet to know it may not just be me 🙂 I haven't found a solution yet. One would think the "SpringboardSynopsisColorText" shouldn't be dependent on the "SetDescriptionStyle" (read: layout) setting, ideally, but if it is then maybe it can be updated in the future. Hopefully there's a workaround in the current release though!

and the problem i had was not Genre but I actually had changed "actors" to show the Genre instead. like MMA or Boxing
just some silly oversights
using
theme.SpringboardRuntimeColor = "#000000"
