A different colour means a different icon. Change the icon (using sed or 
something comparable) in $HOME/Desktop/<name_of_your_desktop_entry>. There's 
a line "Icon=...". When I do this in an editor, the icon changes as soon as I 
save the file. When you do it using sed, you may have to tell kdesktop to 
refresh the icon. Try adding:

dcop kdesktop KDesktopIface refreshIcons

to your script.
