Hello, I have struggled with User windows, since I learned Window-Eyes scripting at the same time I learned Window-Eyes.
When working with some programs, I find there is text in a specific color that should be indicated to the user at presentation and that the WindowClips functionality of Window-Eyes works, it seems a bit overkill. Can you tell me how to have all maroon text in a specific application speak using User-Windows. I have read the documentation on UserWIndows a couple of times, but can’t figure out if more than one can be active, how to set a highlight color for one, and other likely controls.
