indicator color in executable not same as in LabVIEW 6.1 VI

For outcome of test, I use a text string on top of a rectangular boolean indicator. In the LabVIEW 6i or 6.1 development VI I've set the color to green for a pass and red for fail. However, now that I've built an executable, the box shows grey in both cases. Making a .ini file with the same configurations as the LabVIEW.ini didn't help. (The .ini file is modified each time I run the executable.) I also tried using a custom indicator, but results were the same. Other ideas?

I took a fresh look this morning. I rebuilt my application with a difference in the target directory position relative to the LabVIEW run-time engine and the support file directory. With this change the colors show as I wanted.

I tried to create a indicator similar to yours and didn't have any problems in the executable version. I just changed the colors of the boolean state with the "set color" tool and then made an executable out of the VI. The same colors were still present in the executable version. I have attached the VI and executable. If I'm on the wrong track just let me know - attaching a small piece of code that replicates the problem may help.
