    Greetings!
    I've just updated my GNUPlot version from 4.6 to 5.4 (OS Windows) and one thing puzzled me straight away -- the set of default colors in version 5.4 has been changed and I cannot override it with wgnuplot.ini file any longer, whatever I put there for Line1, Line2, etc. is ignored and the lines are still drawn in bizarre default color set.
    Is there a way to make wgnuplot.ini options for default line colors work?
    Here are my options for the first three lines:
    Line1=255 0 0 0 0
    Line2=0 128 0 0 1
    Line3=0 0 255 0 2

    Best regards, Alexander S. Grushin.

    gnuplot 5 supports a new method to change linetypes consistent for (most) terminals: set linetype. These settings take precedence over the definitions specific to the windows terminal and can be changed easily e.g. via a 'gnuplot.ini' (not wgnuplot.ini) file. To revert to the old linetypes, simply use set colorsequence classic.
