Description
This is a minor problem.

In the Delphi GUI Editor Properties is not possible to define custom Color SpeedSetting scheme. It's possible to change any predefined, but changes disappear as soon you switch over to other settings and return back.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools -> Editor Options -> Color
2. (note: there is no button/option to create new color scheme)
3. Pick color scheme, e.g. Color SpeedSetting -> Twilight
4. Change any color, e.g. Comment -> Green
5. (you may stay with that color, but...)
6. Change the scheme to other, e.g. Color SpeedSetting -> Defaults
7. Return back to Twilight,  Color SpeedSetting -> Twilight
8. The Green Comments switched back to Silver.
Workarounds
1. Tune your color scheme and click OK to apply changes in Editor Properties menu

2. Keep all your Delphi windows opened and go into the directory:

  C:\> cd  C:\Documents and Settings\your_account_name\.borland\

3. Copy the file registry.slm to my_colors_registry.slm in case you lose your settings, e.g.

  C:\...\> copy registry.slm my_colors_registry.slm

4. Restore your setup when Delphi will trash it. You may keep more color profiles
   and write little service to manipulate them: save and restore when you need :-)

By design. This is an enhancement request. FWIW, I think it is a good one :-)

A way to save a custom color setting would be welcome, anyway.
