Using Prefs Editor is actually the only reliable way to edit plist 
contents without using the `defaults` terminal command. Although BBEdit 
can open plist files (including binary ones), this is primarily useful 
for inspecting them. As described on the Prefs Editor page, MacOS uses a 
caching system for plist values that makes editing the plist files 
directly unreliable:

So if you want to play around with adjusting the counter colours, I 
highly recommend downloading and using Prefs Editor.
