Hello
I decided to modify the Colour scheme but contrary to my previous colours, I decided, for clarity, to keep ronie's white to grey palette and to modify only the blues.
All you have to do is got to XBMC/addons/skin.transparency/colors, duplicate the "defaults.xml" file and rename it to the colour you want.
Here are 4 different sets and keep in mind the the effect of the font colour varies greatly depending on the background colour
Select all the code and replace it by one of these or all of these in separate files.
NewRED
or NewYELLOW
or NewORANGE
or NewGREEN
NewGREY
To actually modify the colours go to Settings - Appearance - Skin - Color (everytime you hit return T! will reset itself and also note that you won't see any change until you go back to the Home screen)
