''<strong>Note:</strong>'' ~~There is currently an issue with the~~ following method ~~which may result in "undoing"~~ the ~~changes you made. We are working on a way to explain a fix for that as well~~.

''<strong>Note:</strong>'' Use this following method only after fully reading it, including the UPDATE at the end.

If you made a change to a Preset (such as adding 'Invading Precursor Entities') and then saved it, you will find the Preset name now has text like <code><color=0xFFFFFF66></code> in front. This is a result of a safety feature built into the EVE Client to strip HTML coding from text entered in-game. But it's fairly easy to fix, and here's how (it can be done while EVE is still running):

Line 128:

Note that you may use this same 'fixed' save file on other characters if you wish them to have the same overview settings.

'''''UPDATE:''''' There is an issue with the above method that is much harder to resolve than it seems. Following the above process will result in a duplicate entry for the bracket(s) you "fixed". What this causes in game is whichever one is later in the file is the one that is actually shown - and this usually seems to be the one that was NOT changed (e.g. adding the Invading Precursor Entities, they will go away again). There is no reasonably easy fix for this, unless you have a text editor such as Notepad++ that can understand YAML format and allow you to collapse sections. What you must do is remove the older copy of the duplicate section(s).

If you choose to use Notepad++ for this, then BEFORE changing as above, View->Fold All, and look for the two collapsed sections with a similar name (e.g. both have "PvX: Basic (+Neut +NPC)" but one has the {{co|red||&lt;}} and

{{co|red||&gt;}} -- expand the copy that has the {{co|#00FF00||<}} and {{co|#00FF00||>}} and carefully delete that section. Be sure to not delete any portion of the adjacent sections! Delete everything from the section heading down to the next section heading and ''leave no blank lines in between'' (YAML is not a very forgiving markup language).

Once you have done this, then you can fix the {{co|#00FF00||<}} and {{co|#00FF00||>}} as in the above steps.
