Use Custom Color in a Central Management Server Doesn't Share

    I have a Central Management Server setup for the teams to use. I have set custom colors (Properties -> Connection Properties -> Use Custom Color) for each server by group (Red for production, Green for development, etc...)

    The issue I am experiencing is that the custom color shows up fine on the workstation that I set the color on, but if I connect to the Central Management Server from any other workstation the color is not set.

    The Central Management Server is a SQL Server 2012 instance (v11.0.2325)

    Does anyone know if this is a bug? If it's a bug, is there work around to fix this so that the custom colors are shared with the rest of the configuration?

    Any help is appreciated

    pretty sure those settings are stored on the machine you set it up on.

    for my SQL2012, it actually in %appdata%\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\11.0\SqlStudio.bin,

    and similar folders for 2008 or R2.

    you'd want to replace the SQLStudio.bin file on each machine you want to share the settings on, i believe.

    (2008 was in %appdata%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Shell for me)
