[Therion] XTherion.ini not behaving

[Bruce Mutton]

I have long customised my XTherion.ini file, and particularly in the last
few years with higher resolution monitors making real-life size of rendered
objects smaller, I've enlarged the point sizes.  And I've adjusted colours
to make the interface easier to 'read'.

Over the last few months I have not used the XTherion drawing editor much,
being mainly involved in editing maps and layouts.  Somewhere in that period
I've noticed my customisations have mostly been reset to defaults, making it
harder to see points and harder to snap to them.



Thinking my xtherion.ini was over written I checked it, and it seems OK.
Have searched around my machine (Windows 10), and can find no other copies
(sometimes such things hide in C:\Users\.

I've tried installing Therion 6.2.1, 89c0406, 6.3.1 and 6.3.3 and all behave
the same.

 

It looks as though some xtherion.ini statements have become ineffective,
while others continue to behave as they should.

Eg, this RHS  toolbar setting works, smaller numbers give me smaller
toolbars while larger numbers give larger toolbars;

set xth(app,me,tbwidth) 800

 

However line colours and point sizes are ineffective;

set xth(gui,xvi_shot_clr) lavender # continues to give grey shots as in the
image above, and 

set xth(gui,me,stationcolor) green

set xth(gui,me,wallcolor) green # continue to give orange and blue
points/lines, and

 

set xth(gui,xvi_station_size) 7.0 # provides tiny dots regardless of numbers
from 1 to 17 entered.

 

So what am I missing here?

Has the xtherion.ini behaviour changed or have I just forgotten something?
