Saving defaults sets colors to empty upon reload

[richtobey]

I have three indicators that have are public variables of type Color. I set them to Color.Black, Color.Orange, and Color.DarkGreen privately. Upon loading the indicator before I set any defaults all is fine -- the colors show up in the indicator configuration as how I set them privately.

After right clicking in the indicator configuration and saving defaults, upon reload those colors are set to Color.[Empty] which the system treats as transparent.

How can I change things so the defaults don't load as Color.Empty?

Hi Rich,

You need to serialize the color inputs so they can saved properly in an xml file. Help for serializing color inputs is available here:
