Default Nav Buttons: Blue Or Gold

I like blue because it matches the instrument cluster, but i like gold because it matches the green buttons at night. Can't decide

I'm waiting for the Nav hackers to figure out how to do custom skins.

My wish: change those green buttons to a light blue.

Also, make the light intensity/glow of the dash guages, center console, steering wheel, and door buttons all match. The steering wheel illumination sucks...

Blue would be a VERY bad choice. It may look cool, but blue on black is one of the most difficult color combinations to read. (Not all IS drivers have 18 year old eyes. )

White on black is much easier to read, looks comtemporary, and would accent the electroluminescent gauges.

No, but we all have 18yr old girlfriends...right?

How do you change the colors on the nav?
