Ok so I was messing with my HUD and decided it would be cool to change the look/color of my cloak/scout/jarate meters. I went into the correct file and edited the rgb parameters of bgcolor, fgcolor, and the overrides and nothing seemed to happen. So now I'm stuck and wondering what I should do, because no matter what I've tried I can't seem to edit the color. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Make sure the color you enter into each field is in the RGBA format (4 numbers), instead of the RGB format (3 numbers). i.e. "255 255 255 255" for white or "255 0 0 255" for red.

Yes I've made sure to put a full color including the transparency at the end. Still nothing.

Here's an entry from my HUD. All you need to do is change the "fgcolor_override" and "bgcolor_override" values to your desired color.
"ItemEffectMeter"

"ControlName" "ContinuousProgressBar"
"fieldName" "ItemEffectMeter"
"font" "Default"
"xpos" "31"
"ypos" "52"
"zpos" "2"
"wide" "86"
"tall" "8"
"autoResize" "0"
"pinCorner" "0"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
"textAlignment" "Left"
"dulltext" "0"

"bgcolor_override" "46 43 42 135"
"fgcolor_override" "White"
}

elementCan you post an example of one of your files in a pastebin or something?
It's BXHUD and this is the file with nothing changed http://pastebin.com/ievgzbuw
I've messed with every override and bg/fgcolor and nothing happened.

Get rid of all the "Meter_" things and "fgcolor" and "bgcolor" as well. the only two entries you should have pertaining to the meter's color is "fgcolor_override" and "bgcolor_override".

Ok I did as you said and it worked, but only for the meter background. The top still remains white.

Not sure if you changed the value, but the fgcolor in your pastebin was 255 255 255 255. Thats white.

Yea I changed the value to solid red just to test it and only the bgcolor_override changed anything in my hud.
