[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 985665, member: 18896"] The colors are hex based for RGB with a transparancy/alpha-layer prefix. So FF123456: FF = 100% visible 12 = hex for 'Red' 24 = hex for 'Green' 56 = hex for 'Blue' White = 100% intensity for R+G+B, so you get: FFFFFFFF (or 80FFFFFF for half see-through white) You can use any HTML colorwheel picker to make it easy on you, such as: [url]http://www.allprofitallfree.com/color-wheel2.html[/url] And if memory serves me: <textcolor> = standard color for text <selectedColor> = color when item is highlighted/selected <playedColor> = watched item <remoteColor> = offline media <downloadColor> = (forgot) You also want to play with: <dimColor> + <unfocusedAlpha> as they value has a general impact on all the colors as well. Then you also have multiple options per color, which is what the <color>, <color2> and <color3> stuff is all about. My advice, change a color to an extreme, such as FFFF0000 for pure 'Red', or FF000000 for 'Black' and pick something that would instantly stand out. Then you know what color you just changed and then settle on a color you like. You can add:  at any place inside the XML file (except inside <..> tags) to help you for future self-reference.
