Partially fixed. But shouldn't the "unfocused item color" change the whole guide, not only the left channel section?

The custom color doesn't apply to the genre-based colored guide.
If you want I can set the default color to the guide entries that have no genre or genre "unknown"

Yes that would be really great!
But please don't make it dependent on "empty" genre string or string "unknown", but as a fallback color that is used when there is no genre color available.
All my tv shows do have a genre, but i just haven't created a image for all of them. I'm using the custom image based genre coloring...
