There are only those options that you listed.

Setting arbitrary color for infobox text is not supported yet. We're considering supporting it at a later time.

There are only these prefixes existing currently in 0.5.1:

- Yellow Text (Recommended for headers, center align)
* Blue Text (Recommended for quotes or extra information, center align)
(space) Tiny white text (Recommended for quotes as well, center align)
# White Text (Recommended for descriptions, left align)
! For importing image URLS from the data folder (Recommended for unique tiles, center align)
(Any other character) Black text (Not recommended, left align)

It's only supported for info blocks, above. And soon I'll probably make some more info on that and other things. Would that be OK by the SuperTux Team?

EDIT: Added the alignment styles as well to each text element.

The black text is actually pretty hard to read, because it's black with a black drop shadow. Maybe make it dark/medium grey to give it some contrast to the shadow? Some level authors simply use the default color, so it would be good to have it produce legible text.

[VNS]

The shadow is not likely going to be changed. But again, there are only 6 different types of text, the ones that I listed.

[GunChleoc]

Let's change the default text then to make it dark grey instead of black. That's much easier to do than implementing individual drop shadow colors anyway.

And don't cut off the first character. In fact, this should be MUCH simpler to do in the editor. New users simply don't have a clue.

[Tobbi]

I agree. I will add a fix for the first character cutoff thing... And set the color to something else than black. Because black looks horrible.

That|s where I fixed the obvious bug with that. Yes, I agree with you that this needs to be made simpler, but currently, there are other, more pressing thing.

[VNS]

Also, will you be able to implement custom colored text into scripts and info blocks in the 0.6.0 version?

Thanks for the fix
