I found a relatively simple way to modify the highlight colors but I do have a question. The font colors were easy ti do because you already had a provision for it in the settings in the Appearance page and I also know that there is a Theme menu but I am not sure as to how to implement it. Would there be a separate texture.xpr for each color which means X amount of copies for all the graphics and therefore increasing the size of the whole skin... any thoughts?
yes, you'll have to create a new textures file, although the name should be different. for a green colortheme, just use green.xpr
if you do this, you can then select 'green' from the theme menu to use it.
the new texture file should only contain the modified images, xbmc will fallback to the main textures.xpr file for all the other images.
sure, it will increase the size of the skin by a few MB, if people are worried about that, you can always distribute it as a separate package.
