Hurray I can acculey help with this one.
OK HERE IT GO'S
First you Need to Count how many folders you have in your Songs Folder and put them in alphabetical order (This will help with the colors later)
Then you Need to go to the metrics folder (Stepmania/themes/Defualt/metrics) if you do it in Defualt it changes for the any other theme you might have (with a few exseptions).
Then you need to find the text that controls the colors it looks like this
[SongManager]
NumGroupColors=28
GroupColor1=0.0,0.4,0.8,1 // sky blue
GroupColor2=0.0,0.4,0.8,1 // sky blue

the only Difference between yours and mine is i have 28 folders and so i use 28 colors. yours will have about 7. The only thing you need to worry about is the text that says GroupColor next to it.
NOW HERE COME THE TRICKY PART
first i would put the number of folders you have at the top (where is says NumGroupColors). you already have colors to work with here but ill tell you how to custom your colors to (I use white for really good folders) the numbers after the equals sign are what controls the colors and 1.0 is = to 100% of that color (so if you divide 1 by 90 you get 0.9 and that 90% of of that color) the numbers are seperated by ,s
the first number is Red shade.
the 2nd number is Green shade.
the 3rd number is blue shade.
and the 4th number controls how bright or dark the colors are.
Make sure you only have as many colors as you do folders or its gonna scrue you up.
i really hope this helps you out in anyway about colors and if you have any more questions go ahead and PM me here.
P.S. the colors that i use are up there and if you want to use them all you have to do is copy and paste a line and change the number after GroupColor to be in order with the rest of your colors. ohh and you can use the same color as many times as you want. for example
My DDR 1st-5th mixs are all sky blue
both my MAX and MAX2 are light red
all my ultramixs are yellow and so on so forth
ohh and at the bottom (if you care) you can change the colors of the little feet that tell you how hard the song is lol
GOOD LUCK
