Ok, I think I got that, and I have managed to make it work with different colors for anything that uses strictly numbers, but lets say there is a alias field, and a date field, if I use the u, which applies to intergers, I get <error> in the field, and if I leave out the padding and justifaction, I get a blank screen. 

var lastCallerStr = format("\1h\1c%5u \1h\1r%2u \1h\1g%2u", tlogons, age, sec);

The above works as is, but what would I use instead of a u to format the alias and a date field with color. I tried to find the answer on my own looking at the js object model, but no luck. I guess what do i use in place of the u for text and dates.

var lastCallerStr = "\1h\1b" + alias + " " + "\1h\1y" + lastOn;

Thanks, as always. I beginning to think, that this is way over my head :(
