Is there a way to apply a custom theme to [Rocket.Chat](http://rocket.chat/) for color blind people? In particular, the user has a hard time telling the difference between the Online (Green) icon and Away (Yellow) icon.

You can customize the colors of the status in `Administration -> Layout -> Old Colors (minor)`.

I change @pending-color and save it, but @pending-color remains the same where I changed it.

Administration -\> Layout -\> Old Colors

What might cause this?

Figured it out actually. It works eventually on the web (max 24 hours), but the Windows desktop client requires a logout & login at least.
