> Recently, I had the chance to talk with Jonathan Duncan (SignWriter Studio) about several issues.  One issue he mentioned was size and color within a sign.  It started me thinking, and I made a few improvements to SignMaker and the SignWriting 2010 Javascript library.
> 
> I added padding, background color, and the colorize option.  Here is the sign for SignWriting with a padding of 10, a background of     "lightblue", and the colorized option selected.  These options are now available in SignMaker on both the PNG and SVG tabs.

> For programmers and power-users, I have created a new type of string, called the styling string.  The styling string succinctly describes styling for the entire sign and for individual symbols.
> 
> The styling string for the above is: -CP10G(lightblue)  
> * C for colorize
> * P10 for a padding of 10
> * G(lightblue) for a background color of lightblue

> You can also use the styling string on the SignWriting 2010 Javascript library API page.

> For the FSW, enter the sign string with the styling string at the end. For example:
> M523x535S10019478x475S10011502x466S2ea04507x502S2ea48485x510-CP10G(lightblue)
> 
> For the individual symbols within a sign, you can set the color and size using a styling string.  This is not yet supported through the user interface of SignMaker, except through the styling string.  
> 
> Here are 3 examples were individual symbols have been doubled in size.

> 
> The styling string is definitely not a plain text concept, but it is useful.  I've put a presentation together about the concepts with some examples.
