We are running both the Verbal Stroop and Emotional Stroop and have found that the yellow color for both tasks is not very readable. We were able to change the yellow in the Verbal Stroop by changing this part of the code:
<text yellow>/ items = words/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 6.25%, true, false, false, false, 5, 1)/color = (255, 248, 28)</text>
But we are stuck on changing the yellow in the Emotional Stroop to be consistent, since that is coded quite differently... and we have pretty limited coding skills. We are using the Emotional Stroop from the task library and have not made any other changes to the code. Can you help us make all of the yellow words the same color yellow as we have in the Verbal Stroop? Thank you!
I would advise against that. You should rather consider changing the /screencolor in the task to provide for better contrast / readability.
Thanks Dave! We tried changing the /screencolor, and although it changes the background of the screen, the area behind the text is still white. Is there a way to change the color behind the text? Thanks for your help.
Look at the script's <defaults> element
<defaults>/minimumversion = "4.0.3.0"/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 5.00%, false, false, false, false, 5, 1)/ txbgcolor = white/ txcolor = black/ inputdevice = keyboard/ posttrialpause = 500</defaults>
and change /txbgcolor to the desired one.
Hi Dave,
That worked for us. Thank you so much!!
Splendid! Glad to help.
