How do I change the bar in the game menu to a different color?

Added the outlines! Still curious on how to change the bar's color.

Re: Changing the Color of the Bar in the Game Menu?
When you choose the colors for your theme, a number of image files are generated. If you want something different you can't get by changing the theme, you should replace the image itself.
Go into the gui folder. Inside the gui folder go into the overlay folder. In the overlay folder you will see two image files: game_menu_png and main_menu.png
Open those files up in your preferred image editor. GIMP is free and cross platform. Change the color of that bar in that program to whatever you want.

Thank you for your reply! However I couldn't find an image that matches this bar.trooper6 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 26, 2018 9:13 pmWhen you choose the colors for your theme, a number of image files are generated.

That is the file game_menu.png which you find in the overlay folder which is inside the gui folder.
The file is a full screen image with a line in it...not the line by itself.

Thank you! I had passed by it every time I looked for it, because the dark pink kind of blended into the black-- I didn't even notice it! Thank you so much for your help!
