roTextScreen for firmware 4.3 or newer - should I use this?

(first post!)

I’m working on a simple RPG that will have a lot of text from time to time, and while I haven’t yet tested different methods, I found roTextScreen which sounds promising: “…displaying large amounts of scrollable text…”

My concern is that since this only works on firmware 4.3 or newer, should I avoid it?

By using roTextScreen, would I limit myself to only people who have the latest Roku models? Or do older Roku boxes get firmware updates and thus pretty much everyone has 4.3 or newer now? Is this a legitimate concern?

Thanks for any insights.

PS - I’ve messed around with setting the theme details for text color, background, scrollbar, etc, but there doesn’t seem to be any way to change the color of the little border around the text itself, it stays white/grey. Is it possible to change this color?

roTextScreen works in v3 of the firmware. I can’t remember when it was added, but I know it works.

Can’t help with the theme/color issue.
