RE: Colorizing text?
The first thing you need to do is create a new color resource in your SkinInfo.xml.

code:
<New>
   <Colors>
      <Color  Id="59100">
         <I>200</I> <!-- Intensity based on user selected color -->
         <A>255</A> <!-- Alpha -->
      </Color>
   </Colors>
.....
</New>

Then whenever you want to use your new color you can just call on it with rcclr. For example.

code:
Element [id=atom(blah)] {
   foreground: rcclr(59100); // Calls on color 59100
}

or

code:
<Element id=atom(blah) foreground=rcclr(59100)/>

Of course one thing to note is that the color will be gray unless the user has selected a color so please be aware of that.
