Heres what I'd like to do:

Have a single press button that starts off w/ blue text. When you press it, for the next 4 minutes it turns red. After four minutes is up, it turns blue again.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

As far as I recall you cannot color the foreground of a button. It's been a while since I tried, though, so I might be wrong on this point.

If background is ok, you can simply use the %btncol() function, like this:

#alarm +4:00 {#NOOP %btncol(btnYourButtonID, colorID/number)}

In the button itself, you'd put the #NOOP command above, with the color being red.

Offhand I don't know the way to format the button, but by using #BUTTON you can set background and text colors. Not sure how to fit this in with the alarm part though.

Good luck!
