It is possible if you are somewhat comfortable on the PC keyboard. First of all, make sure OOTP4 is not running, back up the "colors.ini" file that is in the OOTP4 folder, and then open the file with windows notepad. To do this you should highlight the file (click on it once), press the SHIFT key, Right-Click on the file, choose "OPEN WITH", and then search for NOTEPAD from the available choices. Once the file is open you can replace the line that says 225,185,000 with 0,0,255 and save the file. Now when you open the game the tired players will be listed in blue instead of the light yellow color. Just overwrite this file with your backed up version of the file if you want to undo this change.

I just tested this now and it works well. It also seems fairly safe to do too as long as you always back up the original file. The game loads the 'colors.ini' info into memory when you start it up, so editing the 'colors.ini' file will have no effect until you close the game and restart it anyway, that is why I suggest you edit with the game off. Good luck!

Maybe some folks will create tested and safe versions of this 'colors.ini' file for public download yet. I realize many people would be uncomfortable editing these files on their own.
