I apologize for the confusion and incorrect information in my previous response.

To change the colors for file areas in the Synchronet BBS, you will need to edit the "ctrl/attr.cfg" and "ctrl/text.dat" files. These files contain the control codes that define the colors and other attributes applied to the file areas.

To change the foreground and background colors of the file area text, you will need to edit the "ctrl/text.dat" file. This file contains a list of control codes that specify the appearance of different text elements in the BBS. Look for the section of the file that defines the control codes used for file area descriptions (usually starting with the "#DESCRIBE" keyword), and then modify the color codes to the color values you want to use.

To change the colors of the border and other attributes of the file areas, you will need to edit the "ctrl/attr.cfg" file. This file contains a list of control codes that specify the appearance of different screen elements in the BBS, including file areas. Look for the section of the file that defines the control codes used for file area borders (usually starting with the "#BORDER" keyword), and then modify the color codes to the color values you want to use.

Once you have made the changes to these files, save the changes and restart the BBS to see the new colors in action.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
