Is there a way to change font's color at CIW

Hi,

Good day.

I'm looking a way to change the font color in CIW, is there any trick to do so (similar as what WARNING and ERROR message)? I managed to change the font using function "hiSetFont", but only able to change to font only, not the color.  

 The purpose for this is i wanted to highlight some important info to user through CIW. 

Thanks in advance.

    Andrew,

    not quite true there is the possibility with 'warn' and 'error'.

     warn( "Prints in orange color" )
    *WARNING* Prints in orange color
    nil
    error( "Prints the red color" )
    *Error* Prints the red color

     PS: Can one append a snapshot here, I haven't find out how?

    Bernd,

    Of course, but I read the original question as more general since he already talked about warning and error - but maybe I misinterpreted the question.

    You can add snapshots by attaching a picture (e.g. png file) from the Options tab when you're posting. The insert/edit image icon at the top of the Message box is for referencing an image at an external URL, so that's not what you want.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
