Hi,

I am trying to change the color of the “Realtime text” in an easy chart by using the following html expression:

`
< HTML >< font color=white > Last: < /font >
`

In the designer, the color changes and seems to be working. But when we launch a client, the text color is still stuck as black.

Anyone knows how to get the realtime text color working in the client as well?

Ignition v. 8.0.11  
Windows

Try this is the chart’s propertyChange script:

```python
if event.propertyName == 'startDate' and event.source.chartMode == 2:
	event.source.rtLabel = '<html><font color=white>Last:'

```
