Button Text Flickering with Text Color Poperty Node on PDA

So I have a project I've been working on in 8.5. I'm using the BoolText.TextColor Property Node to change the text color of buttons for use with the keypad on a Smartphone. It works but with every iteration of the while loop the text color flickers to black momentarily. I was thinking it was because of the Val(Sgnl) Node for a button that already has a Text Node. But all of the buttons in the main case flicker . It's super annoying and distracting so I'd REALLY like to resolve it Smiley Happy

Hi,

I've experienced the flicker problem too. One of the things that I do to eliminate the flicker is to change the color property node only when it needs to change and skip by it when it is already the correct color. See the attached graphic.

Another thing that I have done in cases where the color needs to continously and smoothly change (like the fill color in a thermometer indicator) is to place a transparent decoration on top of the indicator. I don't know why this works, but it has for me.

The first suggestion worked great, thanks Tobin!
