How Do I Make A Color Profile Default ?
Mathias (Author):
The Default is special. it is not in the ColorRules subfolder. it is one step up. But it 'can' be overwritten in updates, but most likely will not. But why not just save as own profile name ?
MC will use the last used one.

It's not using the Last Used one, I accidetnally deleted a Color Profile called "Dark Mode" & then killed the MC Process in Task Man (Actually System Informer (my Task Man)) & now it won't load the Last Used Color Profile !
P.S: It was working before I accidentally deleted the "Dark Mode" Color Profile, mistakenly thinking I was deleting a Rule !
Is there a button next to "Close" in the Color Profile Editor, 'cause all I see is Close & the Save and stuff on top, not an Apply button.

That should work with just copy the file back to the Config/ColorRules folder and then restart MC
It work when I test it.
You might have to reselect the color profile again when MC is loaded the first time after it was copied back.
Did you restore to the correct folder? make sure it is to MC config folder under the userprofile and not install folder

I have the Portable MC so it goes into the MC app folder. Also I have it copied correctly in the ColorRules folder as "ColorRules_Dark Mode.xml" it appears in Color Profile Editor but just not populated as the Last Used item. It's not restoring the Last Used Color Profile whatsoever ! There is also a "ColorRules.xml" file in the Config folder as well, outside of the ColorRules Folder, that is being used as Default… I did mention terminating the MC process thinking I could prevent the deletion of that Color Profile… Also I have a "Dark Mode" Color Profile but it gets reverted to "[Default]" Color Profile everytime I open the Color Profile Editor !
P.S: O.K. so I have another MultiCommander portable fresh copy & that also reverts to "[Default]" whenever I open Color Profile Editor ! So it wasn't a problem with the termination of MC process after the accidental deletion of "Dark Mode" Color Profile. Looks like it's a bug —not a problem on my end.

I can't reproduce any issue.. strange.
"reverts to "[Default]" whenever I open Color Profile Editor"
Yes when you open the dialog it will show "[Default]" first. but all of them should be listed there. it is just an editor. does not mean that is the current one
