Is there a way to use a combined element to display the value of a string (%s in C), and change the color of the background? I have a state machine with various states. Black text on red background is difficult to read so I am changing font color as well. I have been using the Combined Element to do this previously, but I can't find a way to tie my string variable into one. Any help on how to resolve this, or another method to get over this hurdle is greatly appreciated.
