Pen colours

Anonymous
Not applicable
I notice that the palette is different on each installation in our office and some of the pens in my setup actually have the same colour. They don't seem to follow any logical progression.

Is there a way to reset the colours to a default?

Seems like not a lot of people use white or black screens.... we have a 30% gray that we use...

A lot of people took it upon themselves to change it, which other people would change again, then others change again, and on and on and on.... so I added a few lines of code that set the background color when a file is opened, and again when it is saved.

It sounds a bit strict, but sets everyone on the same page, and updates older files to the current standard. Since we already have an office-custom add-on that uses Event Detection (usually for setting text and dimension defaults), it was pretty easy to add.
