Quick update to say that, with today's patch, my home screen now looks fine despite me still having the same custom HD colours. Looks like FD tweaked something.

This is very interesting, since it proves FDev have the ability to easily ignore custom HUD colours in any screen if they wish (as we've already seen the in SRV turret mode).
Now, can they further enhance this ability to selectively ignore custom colours for specific HUD components (e.g. Avatars, friend/foe scanner signals, etc...)?
Yeah, it's like there's a palette which our HUD changes alter and they can either use that palette for screens like the new home screen or else choose not to.
The path and file you want are at "C:\"Where you installed Elite"\Elite Dangerous\Products\elite-dangerous-64\
and the file is: GraphicsConfiguration.xml
But rather than go through all of that, just use http://www.drkaii.com/tools/edprofiler/

I had my colors posted in the old thread, but now that it is gone here it is again:

Thanks a lot for that one Andrew!
I really like the pink and that it matches the original colours in the station ^^

I seem to recall that one of the cheat trainers allowed hud shifts on the fly, am I remembering that incorrectly?
never heard of that feature but it could be yeah
I just installed "DRKaii's EDProfiler" and ran into a very minor issue. When I save a profile for my settings the "texture quality" setting (rightmost column, second row from the top) defaults to "high".
To be specific: I set the settings to my liking, including setting the "Default Graphic Presets" to Medium. Then I select "APPLY" from the bottom left, after which I save my profile. Then when I select the profile that I just created its Texture Quality setting blips from medium to high. This might not be a big enough issue to justify a fix, assuming the issue is with the EDProfiler. Just wanted to bring it up.
I would have reported this in the EDProfiler discussion thread but the link seems to be dead.

So I used ED profiler to change the hud color and I changed the color to Dark blue and gold and In-game the color didn't show as it did in the picture. The whole HUD was just dark blue, there was no gold, just everything blue. Is this a new update or something? Is there a fix?
Wait so that was intended or was that an accident?
No just after the september update it seems they re-jigged the colour scheme because colours I have entered no longer are the ones shown in the screenshots
Blue for you.
Pictures, Radar and everything else unaffected!

What part of the original code stays and what gets replaced? This used to work for me but, I think I've messed something up and can't find a working copy now. :-(
