Hai gang!  

I'm dabbling around in sugarCRM for the first time.  

I have a label called Inactive customer it's a checkbox.  

The original intent was to change the color of the label itself green - unchecked, red being checked.  

The below code in detailviewdefs.php
replaced the checkbox with either a 0 or a 1  
Regardless of the condition of the checkbox the 0 & 1 are green.  
I would be happy with that outcome assuming the 1 changed to red.

array (

            'name' => 'inactivecust_c',

             'label' => 'LBL_INACTIVECUST',

         'customCode' => '{if $fields.inactivecust_C == "1"}<span style="color: red">{$fields.inactivecust_c.value}</span>{else}<span style="color: green">{$fields.inactivecust_c.value}</span>{/if}',           

  ),

        ),

Any Sugar CRM developers around here?

'label'=>'{if $fields.inactivecust_c.value == "1"}<font color="red"> {$MOD.LBL_INACTIVECUST}</font>{else}{$MOD.LBL_INACTIVECUST}{/if}'

works just fine.  

In case anyone is curious.
