(see title) meaning, that [Keen Edged Greataxe] is colorful but [Dagger] is just a dagger, and is normal.

I'm pretty sure colored text is not supported anywhere within FG. Sorry :(

Coloured text is supported. The issue is that you can't have different colours within the same chat line/control text. So a line output to chat has to be all the same colour. A label for a control has to be all the same colour. Text within a field has to be all the same colour. And so on...

So a line in inventory could be blue if magical?

If you want to do the code to change the colour, yes. Use the setColor command for the text control: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/refdoc/textbasecontrol.xcp#setColor

Cool, thanks Trenloe, I thought that was only for chat and not other locations :)

I've been poking around with this myself. I want to highlight specific story entries for Author to indicate they are "sub-chapters". For my situation it's a bit more complex but for character inventory it should be pretty easy.

Yeah as they said you cant change the color within the same line so if you wanted the text to be a different color with the magic weapon used it would include the "character name: [ATTACK(M)] Battleaxe +2" now I guess you could have the weapon name on a separate line since it gets word wrapped to next line anyway, I will see if I can do that but here is an extension that will do the above for the attack action. Didn't know about the setColor I might try to redo it using that. And I like the Idea of the colored for inventory gonna tak a poke at that.
