[SPZ2-6048] [1.0.0-BETA6] Changing Color Mode Settings breaks display of Location Marker examples

[coral torrent]

Screenshots included of Before(CMYK) and After(RGB Colorblind) versions of the Location Marker Edit window. This occurs on the Create Location Marker window as well, and produces the same result regardless of which mode is changed from/to, so long as the setting changes. settings.json and Player.log file included as well to be thorough.
After changing the Color Mode setting, the shape code example buttons turn into solid white boxes. They still function properly, the code preview is completely unaffected, and entering a shape code manually works correctly as well.
Issue persists until the game is Quit to Menu, or Quit to Desktop. Loading/Continuing a save fixes the issue until the next time the setting is changed. If it matters, this save is in Manufacture Mode.

Shape preview on game selection blanks out after changing color mode
To Do • Priority: Low • Fix: None

When changing the color mode in the settings before starting a new game, all the Shape Previews in the Difficulty selector will error out and show blank squares. The issue is fixed when restarting the game. To reproduce: open the game, go to the Play screen on the main menu, go back to settings and change the color to any option, return to the main game menu, and notice the Shape Previews not showing correctly. The expected result is that changing colors in the main menu correctly updates the...

Changing the shape color scheme makes operator badge images turn white
To Do • Priority: Low • Fix: None

Changing the shape color scheme causes the operator badge images to display as white instead of showing the correct shape. The issue occurs when a player opens the milestones screen, changes the color scheme settings (such as switching from RGB to colorblind mode), and then reopens the milestones screen to view the final operator badge. The expected behavior is that the badge should continue displaying the shape image in the center regardless of color scheme changes. This visual bug affects h...

Task icons and indicators only show the default colors when the color mode is changed in Certification mode.
To Do • Priority: High • Fix: Probably Never

When the color mode is changed to CYMK or Color Blind in settings before starting a Certification game, the job icons and tutorial indicators display shapes using the default color scheme instead of the selected one. For example, in CYMK mode a square shape appears as Cyan in-game but the Certification callouts still show it as red, and in Color Blind mode the patterns are not displayed on the icons. The Certification shape callouts should reflect the actual in-game colors matching the select...

Map marker colors don't update when you change color mode
Done • Priority: Medium • Fix: Dimension Update [0.1.0] • Resolution: Done

Location Markers do not visually update their colors when the player changes the color mode in settings. To reproduce, create a marker with colored shapes in RGB mode, then switch to a different color mode like RYB. The shapes on the map update correctly to reflect the new color mode, but the markers retain their original colors until the player quits to the main menu and reloads the savegame. The expected behavior is that markers should update their colors dynamically when the color mode cha...

Blueprint Icons Inconsistently Dynamic With Respect to Color Mode
Done • Priority: Medium • Fix: Dimension Update [0.1.0] • Resolution: Done

Blueprint icons display inconsistent color modes when switching between RYB and RGB color settings. The issue occurs when shape codes are added to the blueprint icons list in one color mode, then the color mode is changed - icons appear in both color variations across different menus. The problem seems to trigger when the savegame loads. Reloading by returning to the main menu and back temporarily fixes the display inconsistency. The issue has been verified as fixed in a recent nightly build.

Changing Color modes and graphic settings causes fatal glitch
Done • Priority: High • Fix: 4 - Early Access • Resolution: Won't Fix

Toggling through color selections caused a slight FPS drop. Switching Graphics settings from high to minimum worked smoothly, but returning to high settings caused severe screen glitching and flickering with green artifacts. This appears to be a driver issue related to GPU running out of VRAM rather than a game bug. The issue results in a fatal glitch that makes the game unplayable until settings are adjusted or the game is restarted.
