Menu icons and button background color

How can I add icons to the menu and change the title button background/text color? Thanks.

For Buzztouch v1.4 (current release), in order to change the background/text color, you'll have to go into the source code. For Android development, this would be in the /res/layout folder, and look for the appropriate XML files. Not sure on adding icons - that would require more coding than I'm familiar with. V1.5 is still in the works, which should make icons and colors a much simpler job in the online control panel, but there's no firm release date for that version yet.

I'm not totally familiar with xcode - the reason I knew where it was in Eclipse was because David (Buzztouch guru) had posted it previously. But from glancing through the source code of one of my apps, I think you can go into the ScreenControllers folder, and its subfolders (for each of the kinds of screens you might be using). In each of the .m files, there seem to be places to change the contents of backgroundColor, or UIColor, or textColor, etc. Not sure if there's a way to globally change them through the project or not. Again, not sure if what I'm telling you is correct, so please check back after you've tried it and let me (and everyone else) know if that works or not.

I changed the color of the title bar by modifying config/xxxxxxAppDelegate.m, where xxxxxxx is the app name. I changed //init colors self.navBarColor = UIColorFromRGB(0x000000);
