Thanks for the info! I was able to checkout meld from git and customise the colors in the gtkrc file directly ;)
But I'm still not able to use custom colors in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 . I copied the color config from gtkrc to ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and modified the colors. I also replace 'lowest' with 'highest' priority. But these changes don't show up. Not a problem for me, as I'm quite happy to use the modified version for now. Thank again!
