System style buttons remain blue after being released

[Roberteh]

It's behaving as expectced except it remains light blue while the mouse is not hovering over it.

If I hover over the button but do not interact, it stays gray. If I interact with it and finish my interaction while my cursor is over the button then it will remain light blue. The only way to get the button back to gray is to somehow interact with it and finish the interaction while my cursor is not over the button (ie: tabbing through the controls, or clicking the button and releasing it after moving my cursor).

I would much rather the intended behavior where it only becomes light blue only while my mouse is hovering over it.

The VI you posted works fine to me.  As soon as the mouse leave the button, button color changes back to False color (gray).

There are many posts about customizing button.

Search google or Youtube for "labview customize button".

I'm sorry for being an idiot.  I forgot that you mentioned it was STUCK.

No worries! Do you have any advice for me though?

George Zou, Thanks I was able to figure out how to edit that button state. I'd rather that be my last option though, i'd prefer to fix the bug outright

System controls have very limited customizations, they inherit most of their looks from the OS theme.

If hiding and showing the FP fixes the appearance, you may be looking at a video driver issue.

Those are often fixed by getting the most recent video driver or tweaking the video acceleration settings.

Thank you Ben! It was a driver issue

Hey Roberteh, mind sharing how you fixed the driver issue? I'm seeing the same behavior where it gets "stuck" highlighted blue. Tabbing over the button clears it, just like your experience.

Installing the latest video drivers for your graphics video interface is the way to fix driver issues!

I'm on the latest driver already. Refer to this older post-

I'm wondering if the OP fixed his issue with an acceleration tweak or a simple driver update.
