aeon moding help

I'm trying to modify the home screen. I can't for the life of me find where to change the font size and color. I assume its in one of the .xml files (very new to this) but I cant find it anywhere. Any push in the right direction would be very greatful.

Also, I can't get backdrops to show on the home screen, but they will appear in the various views. When I go to customize and change the backdrop it just reverts back to black. Am I missing something? It might simply be that I'm using an already modified version of aeon and its been disabled (i'm using a Revamp mod from Leeuw).

most likely caused by using an outdated version of xbmc.

Thanks for the quick response ronie! I'm sort of getting it to work, just trying to wrap my head around .xml.

I'll try updated xbmc to see if that fixes the black backdrops.
