TSRE Consist editor 3D view colours

[ossie]

I'm currently installing everything I need for a new Windows 11 machine and am scratching my head with the consist editor. I downloaded the latest Fork v0.8.005 and each time I exit the program the colours I've picked for my con & shape backgrounds revert back to the "default" greyish colour. I've exited out via File/Exit, clicking on the "x" in the top right of the program window and even tried closing the program with shit/exit with no luck. I threw a real Hail Mary, created a new consist and did the File/Save in the menu and tried both shift/exit & file/exit but no success. I'm sure I'm missing something stupidly obvious so any suggestions will be gratefully received please.

These settings are not stored anywhere, as there is no separate setting.txt file for ConsistEditor.bat. The only way to change the colors is to set the entry systemTheme to true or false in setting.txt. This also affects ConsistEditor.bat. Although I believe that this is set exactly the wrong way around. My Win11 is Dark Theme.

systemTheme = true ....default is dark theme ??

systemTheme = false ......setting to false goes to Windows pallete for your PC

Thanks so much for the response Jan and I probably should have done what you did and attach a screenshot at the start. What I'm trying (hoping) to do is change the background colour in sections 1 & 2 to a similar dark colour to the rest of the window. Through 3D View I can change them to dark each time I start the TSRE CE but as soon as I exit the program and restart it, the colours revert back to what is show in the screenshot.

On my old machine the various columns were all the same colour. I'm now wondering if that was just how they came in whichever version I had running previously and if this is the "default" way this version now starts each time?

Now I've figured out why that is. If you use version Trainsim.Com Fork v0.8.005, the windows have different colors. With version Trainsim.Com Fork v0.8.004, all windows are the same color. I found the following entry in the settings text: colorConView = "#a2a2a2". You can give it a try...
