Question

I am creating a CCTexture2d using initWithString. But how do I set the color for this text?

CCTexture2D* texture = [[CCTexture2D alloc] initWithString:labeltext fontName:@”Carlisle” fontSize:18];

(Cocos2d 99.5, XCode 3.2.5 BaseSDK 4.2 Objective-C, Deployent OS 3.1.3)

A colleague found out a solution that works for me:

unsigned long color = 0xFFFF0000;
CCSprite* sprite = <<get your sprite here>>;
sprite.color      = ccc3(GetR(color), GetG(color), GetB(color));

It sets the color for the sprite, not the texture, so it is not exactly what I was looking for, but it works.
