Is it possible for Lion Tweaks to change the colour scheme for Reminders? The grey/red GUI is a shocker (in my opinion). Any chance this is something that can be 'tweaked'?

Does anyone yet know if LionTweaks works with Mountain Lion (10.8)? My curiosity stems from the rumor/fact that Simbl does is incompatible with 10.8.
