I don't suppose it's possible yet to get different coloured text in an area face is it? -- Graham Chiu

Hi Graham, I've started developing my own colored text area(http://www.rebol.cz/~cyphre/area.png pre-alpha version is uploaded on /Express developers server). If you really need it I would be able to fix some bugs during next weekend and send you the script... regards, Cyphre

Hi Graham, Now I know you don't mean this view layout [area font-color red] LOL! Cyphre has a demo that does do what you are after (not sure if it is on his site or not). But it has limited in editing ability. Area's with Rich Text ability (at an accetable speed and functionality) would need some changes in View/Vid by RT to support it properly. Currently clever tricks with overlaid faces or using colored text in draw are the only ways I know of to do this. Not sure off RTs timeline to add this Rich Text / Formatted text feature though. Cheers, Allen K

Hi Cyphre, It looks good. I don't need the ability to edit, just display text for the chat program. To distinguish chat from attribution text.

Bug free would be nice - I've created too many of mine own now :) -- Graham Chiu
