That’s so strange, given the # means the line was commented out! Also, don’t feel bad for leaving things up that you have worked out. Chances are someone else probably wanted to ask the same question. Even just putting an edit fo say you’ve worked it out is just as useful. 
Im excited to hear about the dark mode skin you’re making!! I’m a huge fan of not having my eyeballs burned by bright UIs.
There’s some great info on how to tinker with colour parameters here:
And if you google “colour picker”, google has a tool available to easily convert RGB colours you use in photoshop etc to the hex values required by the gameshell.
And haha I know what you mean, working on things till 6am. I’ve been doing it way too much lately. That awkward feeling, getting into bed, while your significant other is just waking up to go to work. The curse of the gameshell.
