Hi,
In the code attached below, I am using a ratingscale.
If the screen background is set to black, it’s fine - the ratingbox is white and not flashing.
But if I set the background as white and the ratingscale as black, it is.
Is there any way to keep it white all the time?
Thanks,
Erica

I tried it, but your code seems to need datasound.xlsx and possibly other files to run.
Hi Alex,
I send you the material.
I send you the sounds in a separate email as I am not sure they don’t exceed the size limit. It you will not receive them , just use some sounds of yours with the names in the datasound (they are just 2…)
datasound.xlsx (28.1 KB)

Dear Alex,
have you received my last emails with the material you asked for?
Thank you,
Erica
