I applied the 4.0.3 patch to my existing Poser installation. I have no problem saving any UI, document size or preferred character as Preferred State. Are you guys shure you have the 'Launch to Preferred State' and 'Use Previous State' options checked. I think that with a fresh install these are on 'Factory State' Yet, I observed another strange thing: when starting Poser the first time after applying the patch I was able to change the color of the UI (with the same type of colorchooser as for background and shadows). Now it doesn't do that anymore. Or is this a normal feature I'm not aware of?
