There's a minor update out to Main today, the highlights of which area: Further improvements and bug fixes to the rich-text editor both on the forums and in-game. The text color and background color buttons have been re-added (note that you must highlight whatever text you want to affect, then select the color, to use these buttons now). Table editing has been further improved, as has pasting from external sources. Fixed issues with the "Your Purchases" tab in the Library Manager popup in-game. There will no longer be watermark showing up on purchased assets while you are in-game. In addition the overall speed of the "Your Purchases" tab has been greatly increased, so browsing through your purchases (even if you have a lot of them) should now be much faster. Thanks!

Yay! Thank you very much for this fantastic update, I was waiting for text colors to be added back in! =D Also, I'm not sure if this is a bug or I just don't know how to properly use the new version, but I can't seem to color individual letters in a word anymore (something which was possible in the old version). Now, trying to color an individual letter will change the color of the entire word, and sometimes the words next to it are also colored. I would appreciate if this was looked at more closely. Thanks again!

King, confirmed. Here is a workaround: If you want to color the word COLOR in different colors do the following: 1) Type out COLOR with an enter between each letter. C O L O R 2) Individually color each letter. 3) Use Backspace (or delete) to delete the "enter" between each letter so that the word is appears as COLOR with different colors. - Gauss

Ahh, thanks Gauss! Your solution didn't immediately work for me, but after playing around with it some more, it turns out that I had originally colored multiple characters first, which seems to "link" those letters together, making them all change color together if one of them is changed, and I think you have to select the "none" color in order to unlink them. I think that unaltered words, however, can still be individually colored (maybe not all the time? Not 100% sure yet). But anyway, I like it this way a lot better since you can change a single letter and compare it to the original color (in case you forget which color was used for the text). So yeah, you just made my problem into an awesome new feature. Thanks!

Happy to help. Regarding it not immediately working, sorry, I should have stated that this only works for fresh text. :) - Gauss

The way that it works now basically it creates little invisible "divisions" in the text. So if there is already an existing "division" that may be used which is why it may affect nearby words. To get around that, you can just delete the affected text and re-enter it, highlighting the selection you want to color. My guess is that this won't affect folks most of the time in normal use, since based on my research 95% of folks are using this feature just to highlight a header or a word in a sentence.

Ahh, that clears it up, thanks for the explanation Riley! Though yeah, I guess most other people probably wouldn't notice anyway XD And Gauss, no worries, I didn't give you all the information you'd need to know that was my problem, and it still helped in the end.
