I noticed you talk about GUI color modulation in the document, is there a good resource for it? the only one I saw was

http://www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=11774

and its more of a howto go through the source and change it in a lot of places, and not a drop in with a couple tweaks resource

James, we made the changes specified in the resource you found. We only needed it in a few special cases, so it wasn't so bad, and I think that will be the case in general. To my knowledge, that's the best resource available for colour modulation.

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

I can't be the only one who struggles to get their GUIs looking like they want them to. An excellent document - well done!

Exactly. This is precisely what is needed. Did you consider adding that information to the TDN? That would make it much more available for people that don't look that much in the forums.
