Recolouring the B9TL's matrix display (also applies to C400(R)) (1 Viewer)

On a similar theme, is it possible to increase the size of the fleet numbers on the sides of the buses, as well as change the colour of them? For example, can anyone explain what the following lines stand for, taken from the model_ADL_R.cfg file of the London Citybus 400 folder. I realise that 3 of the lines will be the RGB colouring, but what about the other lines?

Code:
[texttexture_enh]
{stringvar}      <-- String variable that contains the text that will be written
{fontname}       <-- Internal name of the OMSI font to use
{width}          <-- Width of the text-texture canvas
{height}         <-- Height of the text-texture canvas
{fullcolor}      <-- 0: Use colour defined below, 1: Use colour of the font itself
{R}
{G}
{B}
{alignment}      <-- 0 = centred, 1 = left, 2 = right, 3 = centred, 4 = centred (overflowing left), 5 = centred (overflowing right)
{grid}           <-- 'Everytime aligned to grid with pixels {grid}. Else use "1" or "0".'
I'm not quite sure what the different alignment types are or what the grid thing is about, the comments about them from Marcel are written in poor English. :(
Anyway, to change the text colour you need to make sure {fullcolor} is set to 0, and then change the RGB values beneath it. Changing the text size is a case of adjusting the width and height, but the actual size of the area the text can occupy is defined by the model and UV-mapping of the surface with the text on it.
 
Hmmm, so I have changed the colour of the Matrix no problem... but when I load the game up it appears to be very dark. I have chaged the game time to night, turned on the c400's lights but the Matrix still seems to be dark and hard to see. Any help will be appreciated.

It looks to me that you have chosen a dark colour. Just make sure you haven't changed anything other than the 3 lines for the colours in each section and choose a slightly lighter colour than that.
