Re: [Avid-L2] Project background color setting POSSIBLE FR: MAKE IT LIKE IT USED TO BE

For those of us that do use custom bin colors,
Please let the user choose what the default color bin color is, rather than an awful, eye hurting gray.
Having to manually change each bin is a major PITA.

In order to find the Project window easier, I like to give it a subtle color difference so that it's easy to distinguish it from the surrounding bins. (I know that I can do command-9, command-apostrophe to call up and reposition my project window. And if YOU didn't know that, well, happy tip!)

I tried selecting the Project window and going to the Edit menu, but there's no "background color" choice, like with a Bin. I also tried a contextual click on the Project window with no luck.

But I want the functionality to change the color of a Project window just like a bin, which they seem to have lost with the change in behavior. This used to be a USER setting, I think, so that all of my future Project Windows in new projects were colored the same way.
