Html labels LLXperiment

While I were searching, I suddenly went to a page about how to make a multi-color TextView.

And I though…hey, this should be possible to do in LL.

Yes it was.

This is a way (not the best one I guess, but reliable) to have Html labels in LL.

The script is very simple: it searches for the label view of an item, it converts its LL’s label using Html.fromHtml() and change the TexView with that value. The result is a custom label with colors, sizes, and more [IMPORTANT! not all is available, but I don’t know what is and what is not, so try]

If you set the script in the resumed event of the item, you will have it permanently. (Note: if you change the label you need to switch to another app, then back to LL for the script to run and change the new label, or simply run it manually from the item menu)

Another thing to note: I found that the LL item setting “Maximum number of lines” cuts the label or forces it to be one-line (when it is 1). Keep this in mind.

Some label examples are:

Red and blue

italic bold

Lightning launcher

Pierre Hébert​ … Maybe a setting ‘html label’ in shortcuts under text? :3

This is a tool script to help editing the list of lightning variables.

It lets you modify current variables and/or create new ones.

How to use it:

Launch the script, the list of all current variables and an extra ‘create a variable’ entry will be shown.

Click a variable to see it’s type and value. You can modify it’s value and save it. If you click cancel it will ask to delete it.

If you choose ‘create a variable’ input a name and a value and it will be created.

Note: the variables are set using lightning’s action ‘set a variable’. This means that the value is converted to it’s type by lightning itself, this script doesn’t use the script API calls because they need to specify a type.

For the ‘how does this work?’:

Saves lightning to force it to save the variables into the variables file.

Reads the available variables from the variables file (because there is no way to obtain the variables elsewhere, or at least I don’t know how)

Shows the list of variables to choose, a lot of prompts, etc.

To set/create a value it calls lightning activity ‘set a variable’.

To delete a variable it calls LL.getVariables().edit().setString(name,null).commit();
