Hi,
I’m trying to partially change color of text.
Example:
So one half is in another color than the other half. I would like to keep it as a text object if at all possible. Can I achieve this with a mask perhaps?
Thanks!

How about using a reverse font? http://www.fontspace.com/category/inverse
The font itself would act as a mask, allowing colors to show through the letter bodies.
You would match the ‘backward font’ color to your background, then slip a colored item underneath it, scale it, etc.
I’ll hit you up in the IRC!

Great idea, and it works. It is a bit tricky however. I use text.height to know how high my rect needs to be in the background. text.heightgives the font height, which is lower and higher than what you actually see, I guess its because of subscript and superscript and such. Since I need to have this really dynamic (size will be changing with slider) I don’t think this will work for me unless I go in and edit my font perhaps.
Thanks,
