===color===
Also concerns bgColor, maskColor, blinkColor, mark, active, keep.

Colors are given in RGB format with transparency like this:

color="#AARRGGBB"

* A = alpha value (transparency 0-255)
* R = red value
* G = green value
* B = blue value

Some examples:

AARRGGBB
color="#00000000" ''= black, fully transparent (translucent)''
color="#FF000000" ''= black, full opacity''
color="#7F000000" ''= black, half translucent''
color="#7FFFFFFF" ''= white, half translucent''

For sure you can use every value between.

Colors might also be given as symbolic value which has to be defined in .colors
file of the skin, e.g.:

color="MenuTextFg"

===font===
There are three predefined fonts

* Osd
* Fix
* Sml

For those who have installed the freetype library and activated at compile time every font found at
* '''/etc/vdr/plugins/text2skin/fonts/'''
or
* '''/etc/vdr/plugins/text2skin/SkinName/'''
is usable.

In the skin file the font name,
font="Osd"
or, for Truetype fonts, the font filename and size (and optional width too)
font="helmetr.ttf:'''SIZE'''[,WIDTH]"
is given.
