every time I open UE I have to go change the preset to warm light.

[ThomasGrowley]

I don't want to spend time tweaking it if I have to do this every time. I enabled the plugin on all projects by default.

Hum doesn't the global setting handle this 🤔 ?

[ThomasGrowley]

Global Settings is not keeping the preset. That button acts once after starting up to the default oppressive dark - if it's on, and I uncheck it, I get warm light, If it's off and I check it, I get warm light. The 'Load' Button I can not activate at all.

Just to understand better the issue (I'm asking because I'm not able to reproduce)

• A) You want to have the warm light theme enabled by default when you create a new project
• or B) The warm light theme doesn't save on your projects and you have to set it every time you launch the editor ?

If A), then it's a new feature (the global settings doesn't seem to handle it for now)
If B), then it's a bug

Regardless I'll create this feature/fix this bug once you precise what I should do.

Just to clarify here... though it is great not being stuck with the oppressive default dark theme of UE 5.4
A/ no that would only work if I set it to enable the plugin by default.
B/ Yes, everytime I open a project through Unreal or Rider I have to go and click 'Fix Missing Elements' - which happens a lot after compiling. Except one blueprints only project.

Sometimes it actually keeps the settings, I could not say why. I don't think setting as default is helpful. I started getting errors when UE tried to save tmp files for for assets for DarkerNodes, so it bothered me enough to investigate, especially as I do not like seeing '4 unsaved files' that I can not save. In the ~/Project/Saved/Autosaves I deleted DarkerNodes folder. Perhaps it was having trouble with permissions.

I was able to fix projects where it was not starting with my 'warm light' by copying the [/Script/UnrealEd.EditorStyleSettings] about 24 lines, from project where it was working correctly.

paste AFTER [/Script/UnrealEd.EditorPerProjectUserSettings] in:

~/ProjectName/Saved/Config/WindowsEditor/EditorProjectUserSettings.ini

I'm encountering the same issue, could this be caused by the fact that when you set the preset it's reverted to the default "SelectPreset" and it's saved like that in the settings file:

This seems intentional:

TabTip_BDA2EscLUD.mp4

For some reason my default is not "default" but "cool" and I'm not able to change that (I've been using this plugin since 4.26 and I have no problem with the cool theme but since I'm developing a utility widget I must match the default unreal theme and changing it at every start it's not ideal)

Edit: I modified the Settings.ini file in the plugin folder and it seems that it's working but this doesn't look user friendly

Hello everyone! I can confirm the issue still present - some settings are not saving, so after re-launching a project they reset to the ones in Settings.ini file
Is there any possible fix for this, please?
(Got this bug when moved to 5.6 from my previous 5.3 project)

Sorry for the long time to fix this. I'm having a hard time reproducing it...

Just a small piece of information: the presets only update the theme luminosity/saturation/hue. The preset does not get saved, but the luminosity/saturation/hue should!

To investigate a bit better, did you install the plugin from the marketplace? Or with copy/pasting it in the plugins folder of your project?
