Adding text to watchlist

[cosbyva]

I've written a very simple efs to start and want it to return text in addition to changing the bar background color. I can get the bar backgound color to change when all the efs conditions are true but cannot get any text to appear. For example, would like to get a green background and white text to appear when the conditions are true. Any help or advice would be appreciated! Posting the efs script below:

Thanks, in advance,

//}}EFSWizard_Description


//{{EFSWizard_Declarations
var vStoch8_3 = new StochStudy(8, 3, 3);
var vLastAlert = -1;
//}}EFSWizard_Declarations


function preMain() {
/**
* This function is called only once, before any of the bars are loaded.
* Place any study or EFS configuration commands here.
*/
//{{EFSWizard_PreMain
setPriceStudy(false);
setStudyTitle("Daily Stoch");
//}}EFSWizard_PreMain

}

function main() {
/**
* The main() function is called once per bar on all previous bars, once per
* each incoming completed bar, and if you don't have 'setComputeOnClose(true)'
* in your preMain(), it is also called on every tick.
*/

vStoch8_3.getValue(StochStudy.FAST) > vStoch8_3.getValue(StochStudy.SLOW)
) onAction1();
//}}EFSWizard_Expression_1

}

function postMain() {
/**

* the current symbol (ie, symbol change, chart closing, or application shutdown).
*/
}

function onAction1() {
setBarBgColor(Color.RGB(0,128,0));
vLastAlert = 1;
}

If you search the forums for the keywords efs AND watch list you will find several complete examples on how to do this
