EViews does not safe user defined colors

I use EViews 7.2 Enterprise Dec 3 2012 build (currently demo version)

If I define under the menu OPTIONS, GRAPHIC DEFAULTS, COLORS & BORDER my user defined colors they disappear after closing EViews. After starting EViews again the colors are reset to the default colors. How can I fix the problem because I want to have access to my corporate color scheme.

Thank you.

Do any of the other settings, particularly in General Options (rather than Graphics) remain?

Other settings remain.... In the color settings only the last user defined color remains, too. The other colors disappear.

In the user defined color rows you can define up to 16 colors. If I define 16 colors, after the restart 15 colors are resetted. If I define 8 colors, 7 of them are resetted and only the lat defined color remains.

Ah, I see what you mean now.

We don't save the custom defined colour palette, no. I'll see if we can change that for future versions.

Thank you for the quick response. It would be great if it would be possible to define the colors permanently. Especially if you work for a company and need access to the corporate colors.

Thank you.
