I have added two parameters to M23s ExtMsgBoxTIMEOUT.au3 that was in some thread some weeks back. - one changes the color of the countdown clock - the second changes the color of the text. *default is black *0xFFFFFF sets the color to random (randomizing on each increment). -also this version spells out the text each second (sleep time may have to be adjusted if the text is very short/long) *Any help getting the button functionality back (OK and close) would be greatly appreciated.
