Hello.

I edited my overview file out of game using Notepad++ and figured out how to change the colours, shape ,size of things like ship names,ship types ,corp etc, but i can't figure out how to edit the appearance of distances of objects.

I know it is possible because i have seen it here http://i.imgur.com/Lq9ajHd.jpg
Notice the distance appears yellow and bigger.

I edited my overview but can't find any parameters for distance and it just stays default http://i.imgur.com/BskJ6Fs.jpg

If anyone can help, i would apreciate it.

Sorry for the late reply, but:
The distance-component is a rather strange thing. It doesn't have a direct element in the xml/yaml file like shipname and such. Instead it's always displayed last and it takes over the parameters that weren't closed in previous elements. I'm guessing that right now you're closing the color and bold parameters, which is why the distance is shown the default way. Try leaving the post-parameter of your last element empty (or append an opening bold-tag/color-tag to it). That should do the trick.

Next to that, what Mr Mac said. The link can be found in my signature =)
