Hi,

at the picture below you can see two actor's names coloured in blue (marked with red arrows):

That blue colour is very difficult to read on my plasma tv.
Is that blue colour a feature of the skin or the mashup addon?

Regards.
I tried to edit amber's default blue colour in .../colors/defaults.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<colors>
<color name="Grey3">FF9e9e9e</color>
<color name="Grey2">FFBEBEBE</color>
<color name="Grey">FF5E5E5E</color>
<color name="Label2">FF898989</color>
<color name="Sublist">FF777777</color>
<color name="White">FFCCCCCC</color>
<color name="White2">FFFFFFFF</color>
<color name="Red">FFfe3737</color>
<color name="Blue">FF2261B4</color>
<color name="Black">FF000000</color>
<color name="BlackT">55000000</color>
<color name="BlackST">90000000</color>
<color name="Silver">FFE2E2E2</color>
<color name="Diffuse">FFA0A0A0</color>
<color name="Diffuse2">FF474747</color>
<color name="Disabled">FF5E5E5E</color>
<color name="LiteShadow">35000000</color>
<color name="Shadow">65000000</color>
<color name="ShadowDark">FF262626</color>
<color name="Orange">FFf6b12b</color>
<color name="Orange2">FFeaab01</color>
<color name="Yellow">fff6c42b</color>
</colors>

to <color name="Blue">FFCCCCCC</color>, but after skin reload, mashup looks the same.
I also tried reboot, but with no luck.

Regards.
There's nothing you can do about this (other than modifying the add-on). This is the add-on author abusing / forcing skin formatting in the add-on.

It's incredibly frustrating and stupid.

I have changed the skin from Amber to Confluence. The color is still blue, but confluence blue is more readable.

Looks like it is property of the skin, isn't it?
So, that is it? Nobody knows?

What question are you expecting an answer to? As I said the add-on author hardcoded these colors into the add-on.

As the colour is different after changing the skin I believe that this is not property of the addon, so I am expecting to get some details where to look, or what to change in order to test my theory.
