Set default color, or "don't change color" formula result

I may be looking at this wrong, so I’m open to other options…

In KLWP I want to set a default color value on a shape, whose color is set by an mi(status) formula.

The color doesn’t always update from the formula though - I think it fails if play started while the screen was off - so I’ve wrapped that formula in an If that triggers on seconds/modulo.

Kode is currently:

$if(df(ss)%20, if(mi(state)=“PLAYING”, gv(col2), gv(colgryd)),if(mi(state)=“PLAYING”, gv(col2), gv(colgryd)))$

col2 and colgryd are global Color variables.

This works, but is setting the color every second, which feels inefficient and a battery drain.

Questions:

Is battery drain a worthwhile consideration on this (one of several formulas in my wallpaper)?

Is there a default color setting, which would let me skip the If False part of the formula? (Leaving the If False part out currently causes the shape to turn white)

Hi there,

Based on your script, try this code snippet.

$lv("color", gv(colgryd))$
$if(
  df(ss)%20,
  if(
    mi(state)=“PLAYING”,
    lv("color", gv(col2))
  ),
  if(
    mi(state)=“PLAYING”,
    lv("color", gv(col2))
  )
)$
$#color$

I hope this would help.
