Thats the easy part, the drama of got; is the changing of the seclected area of the game, what I mean is, at the moment if you select a mission/character etc its orange. In the obve mention path way there are fourteen font file and none of them are related to the selection part, I know this to be correct; because of got the mod 99.99% complete, I just need to find where you change what you have selected in the game?
any takers?

I've tried sometrhing similar using Sober's rig for red mod idea.
I wanted to change color of the main concole text.
Bad news: I haven't found any way to change 'highlighted' text color from orange
...I've looked through the menu_1024_768.ini file... nope... maybe it's hardcoded
Good news: you don't need it I found these things
- you can change color of font*.tga
- you can change the color of frames when select an officer and - other ingame texts in the menu*.ini file
small example what I've learnd:
I wanted the main console text not to be white/ornge
I use the the font 'FPHunt15.tga' so I took this file and change the color for red in any photo/graphical editing software and saved as 'FPHunt16.tga' then I added new font to menu.ini and change the font udes in the main concole
Code:
[Fonts]
Fonts=19
Font0=DATA/Menu/Fonts/FPHunt26.tga
Font1=DATA/Menu/Fonts/FPCond14.tga
Font3=DATA/Menu/Fonts/FPHunt38.tga
Font4=DATA/Menu/Fonts/FPHunt12.tga
Font5=DATA/Menu/Fonts/FPHunt15.tga
Font6=DATA/Menu/Fonts/FPSmall.tga
Font7=DATA/Menu/Fonts/FPPencil12.tga

Font11=DATA/Menu/Fonts/ShellsNr.tga
Font13=DATA/Menu/Fonts/FPCond18.tga
Font14=DATA/Menu/Fonts/FPCond12.tga
Font15=DATA/Menu/Fonts/FPCond9.tga
Font16=DATA/Menu/Fonts/FPBro20.tga
Font17=DATA/Menu/Fonts/FPBro100.tga
Font18=DATA/Menu/Fonts/FPHunt16.tga ;new red font

changing color of frames when selecting officers
as you know the color is in hex so it's RRGGBBxx I use orange (D26400AA) and dark red (CC0000AA), the xx also in hex value means (I hope) the opacity of the color
Code:
[G3F I2]

ParentID=0x3F000000
Pos=0,198,40,40

Color=0xCC0000AA
Materials=1
Display=4;All directions
Mat 0=data/menu/gui/layout/sel.tga
MatFlags=0x1
TexFmt=0x9
and back again to the main console... I found that the orange 'highlighted' color it's not always orange
It depends on the basic color in font*.tga file
when the default text is e.g. blue then the highlighted is dark grey/black I guess it's the defalt (blue) + highlight (orange) = dark grey
hope this will help I'll add some screens later
sorry for my english
edit screens:
ingame
main screen
