Trying to figure out if factions can still use default colors in the UI

[Lazarillo]

So as per title, I know there was a time, when the color of window borders (around chat, quickbar, etc), would default on new characters based on the type of character created.  Heroes got blue, Villains got red, Praetorians got gold.  Now, either due to fuddling around in options, or possibly just this got changed, but every character I create defaults to a sort of drab auburn.  I can create a new default and save/restore it with /wdwsave and/wdwload, but I'd rather just have the old defaults.  They were rather nice, and allowed for some distinct feeling between different characters.  Is there a way to re-enable that option after I've apparently changed it?  Or is it gone forever?

I've heard this from one or two other folks, but haven't experienced it myself - though I rarely change the color of my windows. Curious about this myself.

I think it's a setting now that there is a default that once saved pops up for any new character.

 

However, I'm not finding any changes at least in either chat.txt or wdw.txt when I modify the colors of chat.

Did you perhaps add a mod to get it to that auburn? If so you should be able to delete the mod and it should go back to defaults.

Ok, for some reason I was silly and didn't change the border color.  That does show up in wdw.txt

I have an old school mod that changes the color of the enhancement screen on Praetorian characters to purple, but nothing that (should) influence the border colors, and it's not even the color I get defaulted to anyway.  Plus, as noted, it also will change if I use /wdwload, but again, only to the one color that I set it to before using /wdwsave.

Yeah, the colors themselves do, but I don't think being able to reset to default does.  Or am I misunderstanding and you found it?

So far, just to set your own default, but not the original colors.   I'll see if I can poke at it later today.
