Hello,

sometime my project crash or something goes wrong and i have to delete all the “temporary” directories like “saved” “intermediate” etc… to fix my project

but when i do this, i lost many things like my theme colors in the color picker, like my directories with colors…

this is probably saved somewhere in one of those directories i sometime delete but i dont know where and i would like to keep them :o

thanks

Under Saved/Config/Windows/EditorPerProjectUserSettings.ini. When you open this file and scroll all the way down, you should find [ColorThemes]. You can even add new Themes and Colors from this .ini and they will be displayed in the Editor. For some reason though, the values for R, G and B are actually the HSV values in the editor.

At least in my case the file is rather large, so in addition if somebody is looking for the folder colors in particular, they are at

[PathColor]

\Saved directory is very often deleted. You can create manually file EditorPerProjectUserSettings.ini inside [project_Name]\Config with this colors themes and submit it to repo.

that was helpful. I’ve actually put those setting in [pathcolor] section to my /config/defaulteditor.ini and now it woks for all users of the repo.

Had annoying issue reseting my colors for folders sometimes after merge.

seems that i was a bit wrong GameROOT/Config/DefaultEditorPerProjectUserSettings.ini is the right place to put this for sharing via source control.

In MS Windows notation I would write the path to this file as:

%LocalAppData%\UnrealEditorFortnite\Saved\Config\WindowsEditor\

Such string can be put directly in the Run dialog box :slight_smile:

This just does not work for me, no clue why but the editor refuses to save or use my custom color picker themes.

Edit: After further investigation, it appears that color themes are bugged in 5.3. The editor only saves ‘some’ of the color & theme data as not every color’s label or sometimes the actual R, G, or B channel values were saved to the “Saved\Config\WindowsEditor\EditorPerProjectUserSettings.ini” file…
