I apologize for the confusion and providing incorrect information. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

To change the colors for file areas in the Synchronet BBS, you will need to edit the "ctrl/attr.cfg" and "ctrl/text.dat" files. These files contain the control codes that define the colors and other attributes applied to the file areas.

To change the foreground and background colors of the file area text, edit the "ctrl/text.dat" file. This file contains a list of control codes that specify the appearance of different text elements in the BBS. The control code for file area descriptions is usually located at the beginning of the file and looks something like this:

```
^#^N^G4,3^Y2^A4^P
```

In this example, "^G4,3" sets the background color to blue, "^Y2" sets the foreground color to yellow, "^A4" sets the font to the fourth font defined in "ctrl/attr.cfg", and "^P" inserts a new line.

To change the colors of the border and other attributes of the file areas, edit the "ctrl/attr.cfg" file. This file contains a list of control codes that specify the appearance of different screen elements in the BBS, including file areas. The control codes for file area attributes are usually located near the bottom of the file and look something like this:

```
      ^A0     FILE AREA TITLE    ^A1                          
```

In this example, "" sets the foreground color to white and the background color to green, "^A0" sets the font to the first font defined in "ctrl/attr.cfg", "^A1" sets the font to the second font defined in "ctrl/attr.cfg", and "" resets the colors to their defaults.

Once you have made the changes to these files, save the changes, log out of the BBS if you're logged in, and log back in to see the new colors in action. 

Again, I apologize for any confusion I may have caused earlier. If you have any further questions or concerns, please let me know.
