Where are the bandColors located

[wptracy]

Where are the bandColors located? I tried to update ~./config/sdrpp/config.json and replace origional bandColors with your ConfigBandColorsModification.txt colors. I save my work, but when I spawn SDR++ it clobbers my config.json file with the origional bandColors (below).

I've searched everywhere but can't file a bandColors file.

{
"bandColors": {
"amateur": "#FF0000FF",
"aviation": "#00FF00FF",
"broadcast": "#0000FFFF",
"marine": "#00FFFFFF",
"military": "#FFFF00FF"
},
"bandPlan": "USA (KN1E)",
"bandPlanEnabled": true,
"bandPlanPos": 0,

@wptracy Sorry, if I don't fully understand what problem you are having. There is not a bandcolor file per se. You change the config file by copying the '.txt' contents to the '.config' file in the bandcolors section. So, you would go from:

{
"bandColors": {
"amateur": "#FF0000FF",
"aviation": "#00FF00FF",
"broadcast": "#0000FFFF",
"marine": "#00FFFFFF",
"military": "#FFFF00FF"
},
"bandPlan": "USA (KN1E)",

to:

{
"bandColors": {
"00000000": "#00000000",
"2200BFFF": "#00BFFF22",
"33EBC334": "#EBC33433",
"33FF0000": "#FF000033",
"33FF4400": "#FF440033",
...
"77FF7777": "#FF777777",
"Notallocated": "#FFFFFF40",
"amateur": "#FF0000FF",
"aviation": "#00FF00FF",
"broadcast": "#0000FFFF",
"marine": "#00FFFFFF",
"military": "#FFFF00FF"
},
"bandPlan": "USA (KN1E)",

If restarting is resetting the file, close everything SDR++ first and do it again. Sometimes it takes a few tries. If still not working, try restarting your computer and do it again. If you still have problems, I can send you my files as examples.

I wrote this to the ~.config/sdrpp/config.json.
I appended your list to the existing list of amateur, aviation, broadcast, marine, and military.
I made sure the last line had no comma and all prior lines had commas.
It works now. Before, I was replacing amateur, aviation, broadcast, marine, and military with your list.
I should have bee appending it.

Thanks for the help and solution.

@wptracy Good to see you figured it out! I could have done a better job explaining in the readme. I'll clean it up in the next update.
