Default Changing soft key colour?

Wanted to know if its possible to change the colour of the soft keys, seeing as they are just LEDS it should be possible surely?

Cheers

Thats not possible without HW modding, even then I'm not sure it would work.
Samsung Galaxy SIII (I9300) (Main phone) - Jelly Bean 4.2.2 (leak)
Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) - Jelly Bean 4.2.2 (CM 10.1)
Apple iPhone 4 16GB - iOS 6

Sold devices - HTC Sensation (bad screen ghosting), Sony Xperia P (horrible battery), Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 3G (low res screen)

LEDs aren't always RGB. doubt Samsung would use those for simple soft keys, seeing as they haven't even added a notification LED...

Would love to see them RGB, though, for different notifications .

How would we go about finding out if they were RGB or not? Surely its been written down somewhere ...

Service manual/electrical manual thingie (forgot the name :P)?

Don't think they are though, or the kernel devs would've found it/Samsung would've said it/Samsung would've done something...

OK I'm doing this on behalf of a friend so will tell him to try and find out from his manuals and fingers crossed he will find out

I think it's impossible. If the soft keys use RBG leds, Samsung would have something to say about it, when sell I9000.
