Primalscript switching to black theme every application restart

PrimalScript (64 Bit)
Build: v8.0.150
OS: Windows Server 2016 Standard (64 Bit)
Build: v10.0.14393

I'm running Primalscript on a Remote Desktop Server (and it is installed as such). Every day I change the color scheme to Light Theme, but when I restart the application it's reverted to Black Theme again. Other options do get saved properly. Could anyone give me a direction where to look to make my color scheme the default?

I cannot reproduce that here. Please verify that you if you switch to the light theme (which one?) and exit and restart it reverts to Visual Studio 2012 dark?

I'm 100% sure it's due to the setup I'm using, so I'm not surprised you cannot reproduce it. It's a server with its own set of policies, and I'm not in charge of changing them. What I'm trying to figure out is: where are these settings stored (config files, registry keys, etc) so I can ask the infrastructure team what needs to be changed.

What I'm doing is:

- go to Options
- Text Editor
- Colors
- Change pulldown from Dark Theme to Light Theme

After a restart it's Dark Theme again.

It is stored here:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\SAPIEN Technologies, Inc.\PrimalScript 2021\Options
under the name "Skin"

FYI, what you are changing is NOT the application skin. This is where you change that.

Oh wow, I feel so silly. :lol: I just wanted a black on white screen for writing code, and these settings in the options seemed to do the trick, so I never looked further.

This works, and the settings are kept after restarting. Thanks so much!
