Just jumping in to say I have been trying to get a navy blue frame with a lighter blue menu background to please a client that currently has that with the classic player. It's hard for clients to understand why it can't look like it does now (old version) and allow students to use mobile devices. Please provide ability to use a full spectrum of colors instead of just black or beige.
I agree, this is really needed - we are waiting since almost two years now for this feature. The dark theme links are not readable enough in their visited state.
The ability the change the colors for the Modern player is becoming more and more necessary feature as the Classic player although very configurable in this way looks quite dated and we need more colors to match the customers branding.
I guess the team didn't take any requests to add customization options to the modern player very seriously. Storyline went from having one of the MOST customizable UI/UXs to one of the LEAST with the jump to the modern player. I suppose it would be okay to just keep using the old player; except new features are being developed that will only work with the modern player. So that leaves us with the option to lose any future new player features that only work with Modern player or lose any vision of the look 'n feel other than what SL comes up with - which I'll add is the same as it was 3 years ago. So modern is a subjective term anyway...?

I second the need for more colors in Modern Player. As well as more customizable button options.
I see this discussion has been going on for 2 years now. So I believe there has been no update on these requested configuration option until now?

Still no movement on being able to set the colors for the modern player? Has anyone figured out how to access the properties through javascript?

This discussion has been going on for over three years. Are we ever going to see any movement on this?
Adding my two cents worth, I have to agree with all coments requesting more flexibility for the modern player. Dark and light doesn't cut it !
We need to be able to have a chart of colors and be able to customize it ! How difficult can it be to implement !! ??
