Colour change

Well, this doesnt sound too difficult to me, but i have no experience with ruby, so who am i to talk?

Anyways,
You know when you are equipping an item, and it shows your stats with your current weapon, then it shows what your stats will be with the weapon you are about to equip. All i want it to do is, if you stats will be higher after you equip the item, then make the number green, if your stats are lower after you equip the item, make the number red.

Are you following me ok?

Ill greatly appreciate it if someone can do this for me :]

I implemented something like this for my own game.

If no one has replied to you before I get home from work, I'll post it up.

You're right, it's pretty simple. You want to change the refresh method of Window_EquipLeft, like so:

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Refresh
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    draw_actor_name(@actor, 4, 0)
    draw_actor_level(@actor, 4, 32)
    draw_actor_parameter(@actor, 4, 64, 0)
    draw_actor_parameter(@actor, 4, 96, 1)
    draw_actor_parameter(@actor, 4, 128, 2)
    if @new_atk != nil
      self.contents.font.color = system_color
      self.contents.draw_text(160, 64, 40, 32, "->", 1)
[COLOR=Green]      if @actor.atk < @new_atk
        self.contents.font.color = text_color( 3 )
      elsif @actor.atk > @new_atk
        self.contents.font.color = text_color( 2 )
      else
        self.contents.font.color = normal_color
      end
[/COLOR]      self.contents.draw_text(200, 64, 36, 32, @new_atk.to_s, 2)
    end
    if @new_pdef != nil
      self.contents.font.color = system_color
      self.contents.draw_text(160, 96, 40, 32, "->", 1)
[COLOR=Green]      if @actor.pdef < @new_pdef
        self.contents.font.color = text_color( 3 )
      elsif @actor.pdef > @new_pdef
        self.contents.font.color = text_color( 2 )
      else
        self.contents.font.color = normal_color
      end
[/COLOR]      self.contents.draw_text(200, 96, 36, 32, @new_pdef.to_s, 2)
    end
    if @new_mdef != nil
      self.contents.font.color = system_color
      self.contents.draw_text(160, 128, 40, 32, "->", 1)
[COLOR=Green]      if @actor.mdef < @new_mdef
        self.contents.font.color = text_color( 3 )
      elsif @actor.mdef > @new_mdef
        self.contents.font.color = text_color( 2 )
      else
        self.contents.font.color = normal_color
      end
[/COLOR]      self.contents.draw_text(200, 128, 36, 32, @new_mdef.to_s, 2)
    end
  end

This makes the value shown red if it's lower, green if it's higher, and white if it stays the same.
