Still here.
Hey guys, I've been searching and haven't found any answers, so I figured I'd ask the MR crowd...

Does anyone happen to know how to change the color of the OS X menu item that you are selecting (sorry I don't know how to word that better)? In the image below, I'm basically hoping to change the blue to a shade of orange to match my wallpaper and such.

I'm pretty sure it can be done with ShapeShifter but I'd be happier using some kind of terminal "hack" or editing some system file somewhere if possible. :)

Apple Menu > System Preferences > Appearance... only blue or grey...
Thanks for the response. :)

I'm familiar with that setting, though I was hoping someone knew a way to change it, like a hack or something that involved changing a hexadecimal color code in some text file or something.

Thanks again. :D
 
Well I have seen in youtube some videos where the OS X interface colors were totally changed, so I'm pretty sure its possible, though I don't know how they do that :/

Probably ShapeShifter, which I refuse to use, It always messes things up when I use it.
