Default status screen colours

Is it possible to globally change the colours of the status screens?
The black on red has a low contrast range because the luminance component varies between 0% and 30%.
On GB3EY I'd like to be able to change them to yellow text on a blue background. That would give luminance values of 89% and 11%, a range of 78% which is more than double the contrast.
I have tried myself, but only succeeded in making a mess of it!

Thanks for the reference Martin.
I've got as far as changing the background successfully, but it's the text colour I was having difficulty with.
Did you ever manage to change it from black? I changed the status screen text but it messed up the station ID that pops up briefly (with the blue borders and white background).

Hi Clive
Have a look in rydeplayer/states/playback.py
The line below is the one where the text is rendered and pulls the colour out of the theme.
Code: Select all
lineSurface=self.theme.fonts.playStateTitle.render(line, True, self.theme.colours.black)

Hi Tim
Do I need to define the colour yellow first? Perhaps in the player.py section:
Code: Select all
# container for the theme
class Theme(object):
def __init__(self, displaySize, ftfont=False):
self.colours = type('colours', (object,), {
'transparent': (0,0,0,0),
'transpBack': (0,0,0,51),
'black': (0,0,0,255),
'white': (255,255,255,255),
'red': (255,0,0,255),
'textError': (255,0,0,255),
'menuBlackInactive': (0,0,0,127),
'backgroundMenu': (57,169,251,255),
'backgroundSubMenu': (57,169,251,255),
'backgroundPlayState': (0,0,255,255),
Thanks
Clive

Thanks for putting me on the right track, Tim.
I've answered my query about defining the colour in player.py by modifying it and now I've yellow text on a blue background.
