Help with alarm plugin

[Guest gavboy]

I'm a total beginner with XML but I'm having a go. I've built a homescreen that does everything I want it to, but I'm having problems with the alarm plugin. Whenever I select it, the text goes invisible/transparent. I can't work out what I've got wrong.

Can anyone help me out?

The XML code looks OK to me- it looks like it should just change to bold but otherwise stay the same when it's selected. (ie. 15 point text, white, no background etc.)

Where did you get the plugin from?

[Guest gavboy]

I copied it from another Homescreen.

Strangely, I have now changed something else in the code (nothing to do with this plugin) and now when I select the Alarm from the homescreen, the background of the plugin goes black! I am using a coloured background for my homescreen, and my code should generate a transparent background, but it doesn't!

Anyone got any ideas?

Try putting bgtext="transparent" in the "selected" line. Or sometimes you have to put the color you are using ie: bgtext="#FFFFFF" or sometimes "#000000" works. Have a play around see if it helps.
