Customizing the Dropdown Colors

The colors in the menus' dropdown lists can be customized to your pleasure.
Simply add the following section somewhere in the rulesmd.ini:

Example

[MenuColors]
1=221,226,13  ;Gold
2=255,25,25   ;Red
3=42,116,226  ;Blue
4=62,209,46   ;Green
5=255,160,25  ;Orange
6=50,215,230  ;Aqua
7=149,40,189  ;Purple
8=255,154,235 ;Pink

The section represents such a dropdown list.
The first value determines the RGB value of the first color listed. The example above covers the original values used by the game. Those are also the defaults.

Since RPCE, you can add to dropdown list up to 16 color.
Simple put another eight entries.
Note: color №9 - observer color. Strongly recommended to set it to gray.

If you change item 15 to NeonGreenzzzzz,  it will use NeonGreenzzzzz.
