just wanna make it visually better before i give it out to public

what i wanna do is when %Curseweap > 5 seconds  i want background font to be default black
and when %Curseweap <= 5 background to change to red.
 i tried doing this, but i dont know how to specify which control font to change.

hello, my goal here is to create a simple Curseweapon(CW) Timing script for my first script. what i wanna do now with this script is make a little menu with a CW count down. also i want the script to "read" when CW is recast so the timer can reset itself. please help with this.
all constructionism welcome since i know there mistakes. just no making fun of my first script =P

SET %NegativeCW 120    ; change this value 20 for every 1s you want to hear the Sound before Curse weapon expires.  100=5s
SET %Hotkey q          ; Change this to the key you wish to press to cast Curse weapon
;
;
;  No need to edit below here
;
keyloop:
onhotkey %Hotkey
gosub curseweapon

sub curseweapon
event macro 15 104 ; Cast Curse weapon
chooseskill Spir
set %SS ( #skill * 10 ) / 34 + 1
set %finaltime ( %SS * 2 ) - %NegativeCW
gosub Sound

if im doing anything wrong please tell me, so i can learn the right way the first time around!

       hello, my character name is The Grim reefer. I first started UO on Pacific shard, and after i long break i returned and played Baja ever since. i mostly just run vendors and a runelibrary in my adventures of Ultima online, but like to PVP and PVM too.
       I started useing easyuo but it seemed like i had tweak everyscript someone has generously posted. so i tweaked scipts to get them working, learning about the EUO code as much as i could. well the person that recommended EUO to me just recommended Scriptuo, telling me its has more complexity to it, so here i am. here to learn how to make even better scripts than i could with easyuo! so give me a chance to learn and contribute to your elite community!

thank you for your time reading my post, and thank you for consideration! have a good day.
