I'm playing around a bit with skins... 1st time. 

Could someone tell me where, in MAIN.XML, the color of the background of the pop-up hover boxes is controlled?

I posted this back in 2008, but believe it to still be correct today....

Colour system is driving me nuts!!!!!!!

1) Frame > Colors > Text= This value is shared with tooltip text and border
2) Frame > Colors > Face3D= This value affects the tooltip background colour, as well as the difference in alternating gridline colour.

It's a nightmare trying to find a balance between all the things that these two values affect.
It's a bit easier if you want a wildly contrasting gridline effect, which I don't as it hurts the eyes and makes the list harder to focus on.

I then find that, having gotten the list to look 'right', tooltip text is unreadable, and upon fixing that, text in dialogue boxes is unreadable

Hi Marko!  Thanks, that's it - would never have guessed it based on the name.

Wanted to thank you too for your past sharing of skins - you do nice work and it's very been useful to me as I plow through this.

Pleased I could help, thanks for taking the time to say so.

Looking forward to seeing the finished article.
