Thought Alarm Classes was my soloution but either it it is not, or I don't understand how to use Alarm Classes. Regards -- Daniel

There are four different colours for each alarm type: activated, activated/deactivated, activated/acknowledged, activated/deactivated/acknowledged, make sure you choose the colour you want for each option.

Also that you have configured for each text the trigger bit (and tag) and you have configured the alarms as alarms and the warnings as warnings. Now in your AlarmClasses window you select the colors for the alarms and warnings. For your testing make sure that for Warning and Alarm: C color and CD color differ. Now on your alarm Window check the boxes for both errors and warnings In Alarms Settings check the box: Use alarm class colors Try these settings and let us know if it works.....

There are four types of alarm states (for Incoming and Outgoing, which means "activated" or "deactivated"), for clarification see this post.
