Once the decision is made head back to preferences.xml, copy the <color n="0">-tag and paste it on top of the colours within the <palette>-tag. Rename the existing tags in numeric order and finally put your discovered values in the new one. It should look like this, except your own values, of course: | |||
<current-color type="int">0</current-color> | |||

The first one is the default HUD mentioned above. It is for the old HUD only. | |||
The second is the first one of the 'minimal HUD's and it is for the new HUD only. The other 'minimal' one is called by the code (I guess), its path is Huds/Minimal/default.xml. | |||
