Setting the default screen color and translucency

The Screen Color menu item in the Preferences menu allows you to set a default screen
color that will be used to display the Menu and Guide screens. There are four color
choices named for the four seasons: Spring (green), Summer (blue), Fall (amber), Winter
(violet). Screen colors can also be set for the Family profile and the four User profiles;
those choices will override the default screen color selection you set here when those
profiles are active. The Translucency menu item in the Preferences menu allows you to
set a default translucency level that will be used to display the Menu and Guide screens
(controlling how much TV program content you can view through the on-screen Menu and
Guide screens). You can choose from four levels of translucency: Light, Medium, Dark,
and Opaque (no translucency). Translucency can also be set for the Family profile and
the four User profiles; those choices will override the default translucency selection you
set here when those profiles are active.
