You already can do custom themes! First read "Skins" section here. (I plan to update this part of docs). Basically, you create "skins" subfolder in your user data folder and then copy some existing skin for example "plain" into the folder, so you will have "......\data4\skin\my-plain" path. RSS Guard on restart will detect the skin and you can activate it. Files inside the "plain" are documented, so you can have some idea how to use them. |

EDIT: Did you rename "nudus-dark" folder to something elses? |

Found a problem, nudus-dark uses special mechanism we call "base skin". It is "derived" skin. If you want to really work from nudus-dark (or nudus-light) you need to ALSO copy to your folder parent skin called "nudus-base". I would really recommend to start with plain. |

yea, I renamed it to I've just tried the plain, created a 'plain' folder and put there just metadata file - still crashed but your plain folder worked |

That won't work, because just "metadata.xml" file is not enough, you need almost all regular files, like from that plain folder i sent to you. You basically can leave some files intact, it depends what exact part of UI you want to tweak etc. |

I've actually found what I wanted and don't need to edit the theme anymore... I just wanted to change the color of "Interesting stuff" (whatever that means...) but I still have absolutely no idea what green "Ok-ish stuff" is supposed to be about |
