fillColor is actually a property of the pageItem, not one of the transparency (effect) Setting objects, so you address it just by pageItem.fillColor. (both a textFrame and a Group are PageItems.)
So we can just add a hasFillColor function and add that test to the hasAnEffect test that we have already implemented. hasFillColor() is a little bit more complicated than you would expect, since, as the documentation states, fillColor can either be a Swatch object or a Color object. So we have to test for both cases.
(By the way, I don't "just know" all these things -- I have a horrible memory, actually -- I usually have to look them up in the object reference documentation.)
So you get something like this:
#target "indesign"
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var newLayer = doc.layers.itemByName("MyNewTextFrameLayer");
if (!newLayer.isValid)
newLayer = doc.layers.add({name:"MyNewTextFrameLayer"});
var tfs = doc.spreads.everyItem().textFrames.everyItem().getElements();
while(tf = tfs.pop())
{
if(hasFillColor(tf) || hasAnEffect(tf)) {
; // do nothing
} else {
tf.move(newLayer);
}
}
function hasFillColor(pageItem) {
var swatch = pageItem.fillColor;
if (swatch.constructor && swatch.constructor.name == "Swatch") {
return (swatch.index == 0) ? false : true; // [None]
// the reason I'm testing swatch.index == 0 instead of swatch.name == "None"
// is that I can't remember if the swatch names get localized or not,
// and we don't want our script to break in a non-English-language country.
} else {
return true; // not a Swatch -- so a non-swatch (unnamed) Color was applied
}
}
function hasAnEffect(pageItem) {
var contentX = pageItem.contentTransparencySettings;
var fillX = pageItem.fillTransparencySettings;
var strokeX = pageItem.strokeTransparencySettings;
var tX = pageItem.transparencySettings;
if (settingHasAnEffect(contentX)
|| settingHasAnEffect(fillX)
|| settingHasAnEffect(strokeX)
|| settingHasAnEffect(tX)) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
function settingHasAnEffect(settingX) {
var test1 = settingX.bevelAndEmbossSettings.applied;
var test2 = (settingX.blendingSettings.blendMode != BlendMode.NORMAL);
var test3 = settingX.directionalFeatherSettings.applied;
var test4 = (settingX.dropShadowSettings.mode == ShadowMode.DROP);
var test5 = (settingX.featherSettings.mode != FeatherMode.NONE);
var test6 = settingX.gradientFeatherSettings.applied;
var test7 = settingX.innerGlowSettings.applied;
var test8 = settingX.innerShadowSettings.applied;
var test9 = settingX.outerGlowSettings.applied;
var test10 = settingX.satinSettings.applied;
if (test1 || test2 || test3 || test4 || test5 || test6 || test7 ||
test8 || test9 || test10) {
return true;

return false;
