Ahhh I see. That of course makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the explanation. The problem is that I have a *lot* of custom insets. And it helps for them to have different colors from each other so I can quickly distinguish which is which based on the color (and without having to read the label). I see there is textlabel1 up to textlabel3. But I would need much more than that. Not sure there is any ideal solution. Thanks, Scott
