HUD Color config resets after restart of mission planner

Ground Control Software Mission Planner
1

[Problem]

  1. The HUD color changes immediately after I modify the custom theme.
    However, after restarting Mission Planner, the color reverts to the original.

  2. The “Close” button on the Planner Theme Config window does not close the window.

[Environment]
Tested on two different laptops — same behavior on both.

Laptop 1

  • Windows 11
  • Mission Planner: 1.3.82 build 1.3.8979.17128
  • Mission Planner plugin for UI customization exists but disabled

Laptop 2

  • Windows 11
  • Mission Planner: 1.3.82 build 1.3.8979.17128
  • No plugins installed

Can anyone confirm if this is a bug or just an issue with my PC?

It seems like the sky color changes correctly, but the ground color reverts back after a restart.

I’ve added the following plugin code to apply the HUD color theme after the plugin has fully loaded:

if (FlightData.myhud != null)
{
    FlightData.myhud.groundColor1 = ThemeManager.HudGroundTop;
    FlightData.myhud.groundColor2 = ThemeManager.HudGroundBot;
    FlightData.myhud.skyColor1    = ThemeManager.HudSkyTop;
    FlightData.myhud.skyColor2    = ThemeManager.HudSkyBot;
    FlightData.myhud.hudcolor     = ThemeManager.HudText;
}

It works as a workaround, but hopefully this can be addressed properly in the next Mission Planner release.

Save the HUD color settings, then restart Mission Planner to prevent reset issues.

Hello,

Have you tried changing the HUD color or watched my YouTube video that demonstrates this problem?

Clicking “Save & Apply” does not resolve the issue.

As of now, only programming can fix this.
