Yes, having a color table would make it easier.

Regarding the text, you mean having something like this:

hrule                   90#FF7777:Critical(90%)

being able to be written as

hrule                   90#FF7777:Critical(%v)

where %v is the value?

Good idea.  What do one of these PNGs look like?

Let's get that code into Orca also :)
