After updating to 1809 I seem to have lost color on some button tabs. Can't update them.

If you set the color tab, it holds that color on a blank chartbook page. However, when you switch to a chartbook with a chart on it....it grays out.

Mine aren't working correctly either. Some of my Control Bar buttons have maintained their colors and others default to gray. The correct (original) color is selected correctly in Properties (see attached) and when the OK button is pressed when exiting the Customization menu it flashes the correct color briefly then reverts back to Gray. -- Scott

Yup,same thing here, but you did a much better job identifying it. Like I said, a bit annoying but not mission critical. Curious, do you use charts and the trading platform ?

Yes Dennis, I trade off the Charts, the Chart DOM and the Trade Window. Once in awhile the regular DOM but not often. -- Scott

SC Engineering, Thank you for fixing the Control Button color issue. However, although the colors now appear to work correctly, those specific buttons which lost their color, although they are functional, do not have a depressed state when clicked on. If I click on a Control Bar Button, normally the button will change its color either temporarily or permanently until depressed again (the buttons not affected by this previous color issue still do work this way). The buttons which were affected by the color change, no longer have a clicked or depressed color state. Thanks for you help. -- Scott Date Time Of Last Edit: 2018-09-29 11:31:20

Actually we can see that there is a pushed in appearance around the outline of the button. What you are referring to is the interior of the button.

Here is one example of my floating accessory Control Bar. 1 - The top image is with no buttons selected and the colors are as expected. 2 - The 2nd bar from the top has the TMS (Trade Management Study) depressed and you can see it's shaded darker than the top button (as it should be) 3 - The 3rd bar I have the Cross Hair button depressed (this was one of the color affected buttons before the last fix) and it has no color change when selected 4 - The 4th bar I have the Calculator Tool selected, (this was also one of the color affected buttons) and it displays no color shift either. I have over a dozen other examples of buttons that were not showing the proper colors that now exhibit no change in state from active or inactive. If there's a border change, it's imperceptible to me. These images are from a 2k Monitor, I tried it on a 1080p monitor also and still can't see a visible change.
