Hello David,<br><br>probably the key is to retrieve the properties of the text associated with the slider and modify it (with <span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">ShadowOff</span>).<br><br>I found this code of mine---perhaps it might help, I&#39;m not sure:<br>

Anyone know how to remove the outline and simply make the text red?<br>
