Correct, you can use JSON hijacking in XXS (Cross-Site Scripting) the same way you can infect websites. If the hacker is using a zero-day threat (not yet known, and therefore less chance for a classic "anti-virus" software to detect it), it can do much harm, just by a simple line of code.

if a .json file look like this:

{"Background":"ff1b1a1e","Body":"ff2f2e33","Body Heading Background":"ff232226"}

everything is human readable easily.
can someone hide code here?

Because malicious code is just text. Are you going to examine every vital skin file to see if every line of text is safe ?

No of course not, no one is going to do that. I'm not saying that vital skin files are infected I'm simply saying that they can be infected since they are .json files.

If you're concerned just run the files through VirusTotal.

yeah, i could upload it. Just need to remove any parts that I haven't edited (just to be safe about redistribution)

afaik, when loading a skin, any parts missing will automatically be drawn from default skin.

note, this is default size only, no other sizes (and I have no intention of making any)

Do you have this colors palette? Default one is too bright.
I'm afraid that this is just an image I pulled off Google, sorry :(

I think Replika XT looks great, but as someone who is colourblind, I absolutely hate the red on black; I can't see it at all. I literally have to use a color filter on Windows when using anything that has red on black, including Replika XT.

So for that reason alone, I'd have to say that I really dislike the colour choices on otherwise nice skin. I reported this to NI too, but sadly, it remains unchanged.

To all designers, red on black is an awful AWFUL choice if you care about anyone that has difficulty with colourblindness. I see it everywhere and it drives me nuts.
