So while I had noted that my custom group-pane group-color settings had carried over properly, I hadn't actually tried changing any of them yet. But because those are the only ones NOT set in the main prefs dialog but rather in the individual group prefs dialog, any differences in behavior here should be informative, so now I've tested it. The results are below under the corresponding main color/prefs bugs > 1) The prefs/colors display code is not loading the user's custom colors > for display, so it's always displaying app defaults.

The group-prefs dialog loads custom colors properly, while the main prefs/ colors dialog does not. The difference in behavior should be informative as to what's missing in the main prefs/colors dialog, thus creating the bug there. > 2) When prefs/colors changes are made and OK in the prefs dialog > pressed, > the changes aren't immediately written to preferences.xml as they should > be.

Changes to the group-prefs colors are not immediately written to the group-preferences.xml file either. Like the main prefs/colors, any changes only seem to be written when pan is gracefully closed. =:^( > 3) Some changes made in prefs/colors aren't reflected in the running pan > instance either, tho some appear to be.

Changes to group-prefs colors *ARE* immediately reflected in the running pan instance (tho as covered under #2 above they're not written to the config file until graceful shutdown). It should be mentioned, however, that unlike the other color settings which have fg/bg pairs, only per-group fg colors are customizable. The bg has no per-group setting and is always that set in the main prefs/colors dialog (group-pane-color-bg in preferences.xml). -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
