    Background Color.

    Is There a Way to Lock in the Background Color in the Editor for the Shape View and the Con View?

    #2
    Yes there is. Please take some time to explore the menu buttons when the program opens.

    Please look at screenshots >>> Click image for larger version

      Locking in Shape & Consist Editor.

      I do that Whenever I Open the Editor. But if I Close & Reopen the Editor it Reverts to the Black Background.
      At the Top Left Side I Have the Following Headings:
      File, Consist, Eng, Replace, View, 3D View, Settings, Help.
      In the 3D View I can Open the Color Chart, Choose my Color and Apply it. However when I Close TSRE and Open it Again it reopens with a Black Background.

        In that case go to the folder you have TSRE installed and look for the settings.txt file. This file should have two lines in it, probably in the "# misc" section near the end that read: colorConView and colorShapeView.

        Here's what my file has --- which makes the color light grey.
        colorConView = #a2a2a2
        colorShapeView = #a2a2a2

        The TSRE manual has a section about the settings.txt file .... How does settings.txt work? It provides a list of all the adjustable settings for TSRE

            Try
            systemTheme = true
            colorConView = #aaaa99
            colorShapeView = #aaaa99

            Be sure you remove the # symbols before the entries.

            If you want black background (vice white) for the Lists replace the # in front of systemTheme

                Are you editing the settings.txt with TSRE-CE open? Do it with it closed and be sure to save the settings.txt file.

                If you are using the in app selection then YES it is not saving. So just use Notepad to edit the settings.txt file.

                    After editing settings.txt or modifying the colors in TSRE-CE?

                    Please post your Settinge.txt from your TSRE folder.

                      You should only remove the number sign at the beginning of the line. The number sign after the equal sign and before the six characters should stay there because that indicates a color code.

                              I assumed Dave read Charles' post 6 and deleted the required # instead of just the leading # .... I assumed not everyone knows that's the structure for HTML color codes.
