You can "tint" the original colors adding GreyScale=1 and ImageTint=220,240,80 (or any RGB color code) to the [MeterWeatherIcon] section:

Code: Select all

[MeterWeatherIcon]
Meter=Image
MeasureName=MeasureIcon
Path=#@#WeatherIcons
X=0
Y=0
W=(150*#Scale#)
AntiAlias=1
GreyScale=1
ImageTint=220,240,80
But the resulting tinting may not be desirable.

The other way is to edit the image colors in any image editing program.

You do it the way eclectic-tech mentioned, but since the foreground color in those icons is black (i.e. an already "desaturated" "color" that can be tinted but cannot be recolored), you'd have to photoshop them preferably to a white or grey foreground color. Once you do that, the result of recoloring will be the expected one.
