By lightcubeThis free script will give you some extra options for wire colors of new objects. You can set it to use default max, use current active layer color, set a specific color, set a range of colors and set value stepping.
To Install, just place the file in the Scripts/Startup folder.
To change settings, run this Macroscript:
macros.run "wallworm.com" "WallWormLaunchColorManager"
You can create a button/menu to launch the settings floater via Customize > Customize User Interface and finding the function "Launch Color Manager" in the "wallworm.com" category.
