[Mahares]

any solution?

Yes. Change it in the designer under textcolor and be done with it. Why make something simple complex.

 

[Schakalaka]

yes, but i would like to do from code, because i use a global variable for manage all texts colors and change it in one hit

mBase is a panel. You cannot change its text color.

It is currently not possible to change the numbers color programmatically. You can extract AnimatedCounter.bas from the b4xlib and modify it so it will be possible. It won't be too complicated.
Give it a different name.
