I have customized the Alarm Status table just a few parameters like the color and the background on the themes in ignition and have made the changes in : Inductive Automation\Ignition\data\modules\com.inductive automation.perspective\themes\dark\palette. ![Pic_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/7/072c831a04a05e85431e888fb7d4cf5f81dee2a7.png) ![Alerts](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/6/d6efce7426c419bace48dd7add3b550768fb32f1.png) ![Pic_2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/4/74dca5335359d3876e16bf9aa167865c218241be.png) The issue I am facing currently is when there is a system or ignition restart all the customization done to the alarm status table in the CSS.file get erased and how do I stop that from happening? ---
