Segmented Meter color selection in Sonar X2

Hi I have found the option to change Meter colors for non segmented meters but if there is a separate one for segmented meters i cant find it . Can anybody point me in the right direction?
 
Thanks in advance

IIRC segmented meters are image files stored in TTSRES100.dll so there is no convenient way to change their color.

This interested me - didn't know that you could set the meter colors. I didn't see anything for segmented meters, but I didn't look too hard.
 
On another note, clicking apply when setting colors doesn't do diddly. The colors aren't shown immediately. My work-around is to select a different screen-set, then switch back. Say, if i'm working on setting colors in the console, I click OK on the preferences dialog, select a track-view screen-set, then immediately click back to the console screen set. It does the job, but it's a kludge. This ought be a shoe-in for cake to correct.

Color changes immediately if you click on where it says "Use Custom Color" (or something like that - I'm not at the daw now). I know, it's an extra step that shouldn't be required. :)

Yep, I noticed if you play with the B/H/S slider it also updates immediately too...
