OBS Set Color Source
Runs on: Backend — controls OBS via the backend's OBS WebSocket bridge.
The OBS Set Color Source effect changes a property on a solid-color source in your OBS scene collection. Select the color source from the Source dropdown, pick which property to change, and connect the new value. Supported properties are Color (an ABGR-packed number), Width (number), and Height (number).
This is useful for dynamically changing a colored background, highlight bar, or border element without switching scenes or hiding layers.
