I deleted SAVE folder and started over and this didn't help.

I also tested diMka and GJA skins and the issue fixes as you envisioned. So at this point, I can confirm it looks like a bug as you mentioned.

In DATA.ZIP/project_config/igo9.ini, I ran into these lines:

================
[interface]
skin="ui_igo9"
newalignment=1
bilang_city=1
enable_stateanim=1
builtin_themes="SKIN~Default - night|skin_night,SKIN~Picto|default_picto,SKIN~Picto Night|default_picto_night"
resultsinqueryorder=1
use_autohint=0
font_quality="light"
show_tutorial=1
use_dual_names=0
theme_night="skin_night"
=================

Do you think playing with this section helps?

Also in DATA.ZIP under ui_igo9\scheme\day\ there is a color.ini. It starts with:

[INFO]
name="COLORSCHEME~Default Day Colours"
night=0
default=1
preview=""

[color]
0="ground", 215,230,205, 1

a="0_int", 240,210,0
A="0_ext", 160,100,100

l="10_int", 255,255,255
L="10_ext", 220,220,220

u="12_int", 248,248,248
U="12_ext", 235,235,235

r="freeway_int", 255,230,0
R="freeway_ext", 120,120,120

I think this is the array you are mentioning. Can you please shed a light regarding the logic of this array structure?

Thanks again!

Nope. Makes no sense to me. LOL!

Basically, what you may want to do is choose which color scheme you want (from Primo\Content\scheme), copy or open the color.ini from that, copy all the text in it EXCEPT the [INFO] section (best to keep that the same), then open the data.zip in a utility as described earlier that allows editing/updating without extraction, click through to either the Day or Night scheme, open THAT color.ini, delete everything below the [INFO] section, paste in the text from the color.ini from the scheme you selected, update the archive, close everything, then use that data.zip and see what happens.
Hope this is clear enough.
