Question

Background color changes

I'm in Creo (WF 5.0). Sometimes I change the background color. I might change it to white if I want a screen shot. Sometimes I decide I want to look at a darker background, so I load up the older, blue pre-WF .scl file. I have mapkeys to several different .scl files.

If I leave the background color alone, it's stays put, but if I change it, then change it back to the original, it never stays. Whenever I change a window or even activate the one I'm in, it changes the colors back to the one I changed it to. It's driving me crazy, the only way to stop it is to close the session and start it again. Does anyone else have this problem?

So nobody else in the world has this happen, just me?

I have tried this on two workstations running both 32bit and 64bit Wildfire 5 and cannot reproduce the issue. I know it sounds lame but... graphics card settings or driver?

Wish I had more to offer!

None of those things have changed since going from an earlier Wildfire 5.0 to the 5.0 release M080, now called Creo. It installed the new version in a different folder (and I uninstalled the earlier 5.0). The "starts in" folder is the same as it was before, the config.pro is the same as before, with the same paths specified to the same files as before, including the syscol.scl file. The graphics card settings are the same as before. In other words, nothing has changed, except that I cannot get it to change to a different color.
