Colour changing panels?

[jptykes]

Having used a number of Tom's (Captain Ferret) skins, I've got the creative bug and want to try and create a basic skin of my own.

My query is - How much freedom is there to create panels and menus that change colour to match the club/competition colours in a similar manner to the way the header changes? And how would I do it (Something like the green screens used in films where a base colour is replaced by another? Or purely xml based?)? And is it likely to be difficult?

Easiest way to see how it works is to look at the existing stuff and see how they do it. It's simple enough to create a colour changing graphic. There isn't a limit to how often or where you choose to add colour changing bits.

It's kinda as you say - you just create a graphic of a base colour (red most commonly but you can use green or blue with just as good results) and then tell the game it needs to be recoloured with a simple 3-4 lines of code.
