Pink boxes for symbols and no wire colors?

Hello @sstrzesynski

If all the parts in your project are custom symbols, they will appear pink in the project otherwise they are not colored in.

For the wire color when you select it you should be able to change the color on the right-hand side of the screen when you left click the wire once, see the screen shot below.

As for the issue you are having with saving the project, I have reached out to our team, to look into this error.
