I've tried tinkering a bit with outline color, but nothing changes. I also tried changing Background colors and nothing happens.

Also very minor thing, when loading a saved .ppd file, loading a .ppd file outputs the right Shape, but in PARTICLES, the Shape's text doesn't change to what was loaded.

This was with the demo version.

Hopefully it'll be an easy fix!

You have to click "Outline" and "Background" to activate them. :)

And you are right, lists (shape, blendmode) don't get refreshed when loading a project. I'll add it to the bug list.

Oh didn't notice that you could click em. Thanks for the quick reply!
