You may find that you change your system colors, then exit and re-launch Pro/E to find your colors missing! If this happens you may need to direct Pro/E to where your custom scheme is located.

Steps:
1. Set your custom scheme how you like it
2. In the System Colors menu, select file -> save. A good place to save this is in your Pro/E load point, along with your config.win and config.pro, this makes it very easy to track all of your custom Pro/E files and options, etc.
3. Go to Tools -> Options
4. Add the option "system_colors_file" and browse to the file you saved

Now each time you load Pro/E it will have your custom colors. You can also direct Pro/E to a number of files/directories this way, such as the symbols menu, drawing templates, etc, if your team has defined a custom set of these.
