I am using a color picker to set the accent color to the string "accent.color". I have text in my skin that uses the color definition "Accent". It doesn't seem possible to set this to a string or variable. Is there a workaround? This is needed in particular for labels in which I have two colors in one label (for example movie name (white) movie year (accent) ).

Have you read the wiki entry?

'textcolor Specifies the color the text should be, in hex AARRGGBB format, or a name from the colour theme.'

Pretty sure you can't use a variable.

Right, I get that. I was curious if there was a work around. I clarified my original post a bit.

Also I noticed this is in the wrong forum- can a mod move it to Skin Development forum?
