If you want to use a state, then you would have to accomplish this using the latter.

However you could probably achieve this scenario using wire variables. If you set a variable on the class for text color, your action can define an if statement that will assign the variable depending on the currently displaying object.
As part of the beta we have intentionally not defined templates of Apps. We would like you to spend some time in our Developer Resources section following our tutorials. This will help you gain more knowledge of the Wire language.

In the short term, if you would like me to set you up with a few sample Apps, I can share a portfolio with some sample wires for you. Please email me at community@rarewire.com and I can set that up.
'align' is a panel attribute that can be extended and used on virtually any object, this will serve to align the entire object to either: left, right or center.

'alignment' is used within a text object tag. This serves to align the text within the text area created when the text tag is invoked. Alignment can be used to move your text to a left, right, or center alignment.
Unfortunately the text object doesn't support this kind of behavior. You can set a specific font to areas as a whole (http://iosfonts.com/), but if you want text that is all over the map, you are better off using a web tag and creating an .html page to live in your App files that the web tag can call. this will allow you to format in your traditional HTML.
I would recommend closing the background process of Conduit as well as any other Apps and then relaunching it. If that doesn't fix your issue, then you may try deleting it from your phone and reinstalling it.

Have you been able to log into conduit from your 3Gs before? Or has this always been an issue?
We are actively building the location feature for a client and once it is done, it will go into a testing phase before we make it available in the Studio engine.
We are currently in the testing phase for the camera component and it will be available in the engine soon. If you check out the Wire Definition within the documentation, under the action you can see how these can be utilized.

The accelerometer is on the road map, but we have not had a lot of requests for its use so far.
This issue has been resolved by our amazing development team.
I caught one more. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for finding this! I have updated the code in the tutorial.
