I guess that you just need to change the itemStats.RenderColor parameter under the AddText function at lines 152 (vitals) and 183 (stats).

An easy way to do that is by creating a Color variable and a switch to set its value above the AddText command.

 

An stat application example:

Color renderStatColor = itemStats.RenderColor;

switch (i)
{
     case (int)Stats.Attack: renderStatColor = Color.Red; break;
     case (int)Stats.AbilityPower: renderStatColor = Color.Green; break;
     case (int)Stats.Defense: renderStatColor = Color.Orange; break;
     case (int)Stats.MagicResist: renderStatColor = Color.Pink; break;
     case (int)Stats.Speed: renderStatColor = Color.White; break;
}

And then change the itemStats.RenderColor parameter at AddText command to the variable (renderStatColor in that case). Example at line 183 where the stats are added:

 

stats = Strings.ItemDesc.stats[i].ToString(bonus);
itemStats.AddText(
    stats, renderStatColor,
    itemStatsText.CurAlignments.Count > 0
        ? itemStatsText.CurAlignments[0]
        : Alignments.Left, itemDescText.Font
);

Just repeat those steps for line 152 and it should work for Vitals too.

Yup, probably the item name color is defined by the conditional structure between lines 76 and 87, so you only need to add an IF after that checking the rarity for Epic or Legend (Dont know the exact number), in positive case, use the code below to animate the item name color.

 

if (System.Environment.TickCount % 1000 > 500)
{
    itemType.TextColorOverride = Color.White;
}
else
{
    itemType.TextColorOverride = Color.Red;
}

Didnt tested it but should work, hope it helps.

Thats not so simple at all. Just noticed now that the ItemDescWindow only set the description color at the constructor so the flashing name would not work.

1. To work with no-static elements you need to update them at running time, starting by creating a Update() function at ItemDescWindow and call it at every window Update function that uses a ItemDescWindow (Just like Inventory, Bank, Trade, Shop...). If you only want to flash the item name for Epic and Legendary rarity, jump to step 4.
2. Then you need to reference the added label in ItemDescWindow, so change the public void AddText at RichLabel.cs from void to TextBlock so you can return the var block at the end of the function.
3. After that, create a "public List<TextBlock> statListLabels = new List<TextBlock>()" at ItemDescWindow to hold stats (and another to hold vitals) and embrace itemStats.AddText at line 184 with statListLabels.Add().
4. Set colors with the previous codes at the ItemDescWindow Update function. Use itemType.TextColorOverride to flash the rarity color and statListLabels[stat].Color to change stats.

Probably not so simple but it should work.

Its a small generic system that can be useful for anyone, so maybe i can create a git patch and put on Itch.Io if you dont mind to share with the community.

how to i call Update() function at ItemDescWindow in other file?

There is a Example on InventoryItem.cs:

 

            if (mDescWindow != null)
            {
                mDescWindow.Dispose();
                mDescWindow = null;
            }

 

mDescWindow is an ItemDescWindow object (You can see this just by clicking F12 on it). So the only thing you need to do is to call mDescWindow Update function at InventoryItem Update(), right on the start:

 

            if (mDescWindow != null)
            {
                mDescWindow.Update();
            }

Do that for BankItem, TradeItem, EquipmentItem and ShopItem too.
