Rack with white Support

I'm trying to get a rack with white support. So I went into the visualizations tab of the storage system and I changed all the colors to white (which by the way is a pain because you have to click every line independently). But that didn't work it stayed gray. Then I changed the underlying RackTextures.png file and changed all the gray colors to white but even that doesn't work. Some parts become white but the supports are still gray:

What or how should I change it such that I have white supports lilke this:

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.2.3

Hi @steven.hamoen,

Regarding your comment "I changed all the colors to white (which by the way is a pain because you have to click every line independently)", I touched base with the dev team regarding that and unfortunately that is just how the current UI works. If you want them to consider some improvements, please send some suggestions to [email protected] to get it on the dev list.

By changing the ambient light and using a whiter RackTexture.png I was able to get this:

@jason.lightfoot Thanks Jason, it is not perfect but it comes close enough for now.

Even without changing the ambient lighting, using the default lighting with a whiter rack texture gets you colors similar to the picture you posted. The lighting conditions in your picture are very similar to the default FlexSim lights:

@Phil BoBo Thanks for putting some time in. I then probably had the same values that you show. Only thing is that it doesn't look white. But that can very well be either perception or the fact that I have the gray background or something like that
