I wonder if anybody else can identify the process to achieve this?

Also, why do we have the Display button and the Colors button doing the exact same thing, bringing up the Display Options window. Do we really need 2 buttons achieving the same exact results?

In BIAB 2021 Build 814, when you click on the Display Button, it brings up the Display Options When click on the Colors Button, it brings up the Color Selection menu. From the Colors Selection menu, you can change the Notation colors Beginning with Build 815 and up to the current build of 833, when you click on the Display button, it brings up the Display Options BUT when you click on the Colors Button, it also brings up the Display Options and NOT the Color Selection menu as it did in build 814. The Color Options button gives you the choices you need to change the Notation Colors and the Display Options window does not. Send it back to the developers and see if they can make clicking on the Colors Button bring up the Colors Selection menu again as it did in Build 814. Last edited by jcland; 05/20/21 08:18 AM.

Go back to build 814 and run either BBW.EXE or BBW64.EXE to start the program. Change your colors in the preferences. Close the program. Go back to build 833. When I did that the colors stayed changed after going back up to the current build. Again, if you absolutely have to do that. DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for anyone's actions except my own. Or you can wait to see what the developers say. BIAB2024 Windows 10 Pro WA6NCB

As far as I know, they should be releasing a patch that corrects the issue at some point. I work here
