hi all,
Why are the colors used in the icons editor not always those included in the subVI icon ?
This problem seems to occur mainly for light colors.
look at the example below :
The color (in the icon editor) is not the same as the color in the VI icon.
Is this a bug or an expected behavior?

Can you post the VI that has that icon for us to play with? You can strip out all the code and front panel if you want.

Thanks for the VI. I see what you mean.
I'm wondering if the color palette for icons is reduced on the block diagram and some colors are being coerced to a reduced color depth.
I can draw both colors in the icon itself and see the difference in the icon editor. But it all looks like the same color for the subVI when its on the block diagram.

This seems to be noted in the Icon Editor Dialog Box help.
