You should save your schedule in the view map and link that saved view to drawing containing the schedule that is placed on the layout. That way you can apply the correct Graphic Override settings to this saved view and it will 'stick'.
It sounds like you are opening schedules from the Project Map, make things look good and then when you open a saved view of the schedule it jumps back to the old settings.
