Use the settings from the registery. There you can get access to all options. Export your needed part and Keys + value und you can sahre them.

Guys hey
I am missing something basic (remember, nubi :

How is a registry string connected to what I can export from EA?
I changed some standard colors and would like to share it with the rest of my team..

Basically EA has two kind of options
- Model specific
- User specific
(although it is no always clear which is which)
Model specific options get written in the model itself somewhere.
User specific options are saved in the registry.

If you want to "share" your user specific options you will have to overwrite a part of the other users' registry with your own registry settings.

Now if you open regedit you can enter the registry and export the key mentioned by q.
Once exported it create a .reg file.
You can edit this file with any text editor and throw out everything that isn't related tot the color options you wish to share.

Then you just need to double-click the .reg file on the other users machine to merge the settings in the .reg file with the other users registry.

PS. If all this is new to you, maybe you should find yourself a local sysadmin to help you out.

Thanx guys, Now I understand more.
Specifically about colors (Tool-->Options-->Standard colors)

Are those in the registry?

Yes. But as said you have to find them by yourself.
