I have been monkeying around with a HTPC skin of my own, actually using the Artic as a starting point. I have 2 questions.

1. How can I change the color of the menu button under the time remaining indicator?

2. I seem to be having problems changing the color of the font in the upnext display section. No mater what color codes I enter in the playlist.dis, I always get white.

Also, following the suggestions of the articles at http://www.audiosoft.net/forums/viewthread.php?tid=882 have really improved the readability especially enabling anti-aliasing.

1.) the color of the menu button below the time remaining can be changed in colors.ini under [PlaylistMenu]

2.) You need to add the following to the top of the playlist.dis file to set the color for the text in the playlist:


a:link { color:#000000; text-decoration: none;}
a:visited { color:#000000; text-decoration: none;}
a:hover { color::#000000; text-decoration: none;}


Just change #000000 to the color you want.
a:link and a:visited need to be the same color....a:hover can be a different color
