Dear Brothers,

please consider this situation,

1. Ignition Gateway server installed on windows xp machine with java6
2. Runtime launched on Windows 7 machine with Java7

We are encountering the following issue:

1. When I launch the Designer on Windows 7 machine and try to edit the windows,  
the windows which I worked upon and saved is loosing its formatting

Are you SURE you’ve running 7.3.3? From the 7.3.3 changelog:

# [quote=“Changelog”]Vision - 5.3.3.328

```
Designer
    Fixed - Background colors and fonts could not be saved correctly when the Designer was running in Java 7.[/quote]
```
