 * ============================================================================
 * Introduction
 * ============================================================================
 *
 * In RPG Maker MV, the main menu only shows the party's gold as the only 
 * currency in the game. However, some games would prefer to display more than
 * just gold in the main menu, of which, may be possibly found in the form of
 * variables. You can do so using this plugin!
 *
 * This plugin lets you place up to 10 variables of your choice into your
 * game's main menu. It will display the name of the variable and the value of
 * it. If you wish to make certain variables hidden until a certain point, you
 * can attach a switch to it, making the variable show up only if the switch is
 * ON instead of OFF.
 *
 * The Main Menu Variable Window is also customizable, too. You can adjust the
 * x, y, width, height, font settings, and more within the plugin's parameters!
 * This way, you can make it fit your game's main menu however you want!
 *
 * This is a collaboration plugin by Tigress and Yanfly to ensure compatibility
 * with the Yanfly Engine Plugins library.

I'm looking to add some text, a sort of title, to my variable window for this plugin. Just a simple word at the top with system color text to sort of label the variables.

I thought I was being smart by just creating a new variable, calling it the title I wanted, and assigning it an empty value. Problem is, it returns a '0' after the title.

I've tried different operands, but they all still return a 0. I've also tried messing around in the .js file to no luck (I just don't have the JS knowledge).

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
