      And, for the dynamic colour changing;
      I used that trick on my CX3 modules for full-day events which could have white/black text on the various background colours;
      You can reference the source code of my CX3 modules. (related to magic keywords.)

      But it is a trick, not a sole and firm solution. And it still has a mid-zone ambiguity issue. (white on the grey level or black on the grey level, in both cases, still visibility would not be so good.)

        @MMRIZE Thanks for the pointer.

        Why wouldn’t I use the “Outline” option? That seems like it would achieve the result I’m after as well?

        Also, I have absolutely no clue where or how to implement these changes. Working my way through CSS and such is an immensely trial-and-error process for me that tends to requires hours of “Developer Console” type access through a browser trying to chase down the files involved, tinkering with changes, and often times not actually getting the result I want without at least breaking one other thing.

          @ember1205 everything goes in custom.css you don’t need to change anything else as it would break a module’s ability to update

          the dev window shows you where (file) a class comes from. but u don’t edit that file

          you can change by adding/editing in the top window in elements mode.

          css is hierarchical

          last one in wins

          main.css is first
          module specific css is next
          custom.css is last, it overrides anything above

          so if u wanted to add shadow to .small from main.css

          in costum.css

          .small {
          whatever required
          }

          done, custom.css wins.

          but it might be tedious to find every element class as there is no enforcement for using the mm provided classes…

            @MMRIZE said in Two color font?:

            I think most efficient and easiest way is using text-shadow dropping.
