MPAA/TV rating display

If I put a rating (PG-13, NR, etc) in the content meta data, it is supposed to show up in the springboard screen and grid screen (in the description balloon) as "artwork", if I give it a value that is a valid rating from the list. (see http://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/ ... +Meta-Data )

However, regardless of whether or not I send it a valid value, it will always show up as light grey text, which is barely visible against the background of the description box on the grid screen. I've been very careful to put valid values in....for instance I tried hard coding
video.rating = "PG-13"

....and still it appears as a light-grey regular string rather than a little "PG-13" box.

Is there something I should be doing differently?

On older boxes running FW 3.1, the rating badge is an image and you can't change its color. On newer boxes, the rating is text and you can change its color on the grid screen with the GridScreenDescriptionDateColor theme attribute.
