Help with changing text colours in LaunchBox

Hi, I'm trying to setup the Neon Arcade Deluxe theme the way that I want it, but I can't figure out how to change the text colours. By default the colours are purple and light green, which look great on the platform side of the screen, but look awful on the game details panel, as well as on the game title (the text is rather illegible).  Here's a screenshot of my current setup, with the text colours I would like to change circled in white...

If it's not possible to change just those specific colours without also changing the colours within the platform section, then that's fine; I just want to change the colours!  Please could somebody help me understand how to achieve this?

 

Thank you.

You will need to open the theme's folder and edit the GameDetailsView.xaml. You would need to change the color code for all the corresponding lines. Taking a quick look at that file I see color codes #ABAEED (that's the purplish color) and #C7F5D9 (the light greenish color). So I would focus on lines using those color codes. 

Best thing to do is make a backup of that file. Then edit the original one. If you mess up you can always revert.

Great. Thank you :)

Is there any means to know what other colour codes would be (to use as replacements)?

The string is just the HEX code for the color. You can use a web color picker to get the HEX code for the color you want to replace it with.
