The notification background colors at each start return to gray. If I save, the colors come back, but if I close and reopen tinypedal they turn gray again.
This is very strange. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce your issue, and so far no one else reported similar issue. Please upload both your driving preset from settings folder, as well as the global preset file "config.json" from "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\TinyPedal". Thanks.
I tested the same car and circuit offline, and Tinypedal showed the SC correctly on the track map.
Therefore, it seems that this issue only occurs during online sessions.
Thanks. Unfortunately, that would be a RF2 game API limitation.
As mentioned in notes, this safety car data from game API is very limited, it doesn't provide safety car coordinates data (no xyz world position), but only on track distance (meters from start line), and updates at very low rate (5 updates per second). So in order to implement this feature, I added "a lot" workarounds and additional calculations to transform "track distance" into xy coordinates to show safety car on map.
And it is always painful to add feature that requires a lot workaround to get it them from game API that is known with a lot limitations. To be honest, I've almost given up adding this safety car feature due to amount API limitation and workarounds it required.
Unfortunately there is pretty much nothing more I can do.
Thanks for the file, I have identified the issue, which is due to partially uninitialized GUI when "Show at Startup" option was disabled from Window menu.
This issue is now fixed in source code. You may wait next update which still take some days. If you don't want to wait next update, just enable "Show at Startup" option for now.
Added "show_current_speed_while_limiter_on" option (requested by user "sdmichaels"), which shows current vehicle speed while speed limiter is on. This option is now enabled by default.
Note, while enabled, the first letter of "speed_limiter_text" option will be displayed as prefix beside speed reading. Remove all text from "speed_limiter_text" option will show only speed reading.
Added "decimal_places_speed" option.
Misc
Fixed partially uninitialized notification when "Show at Startup" option was disabled (reported by "sepi").
Fixed a minor issue with API logging (reported by "Oost-hash").
Implemented adaptive race length and fuel calculation for "Lap" and "Laps & Time" finish criteria based race, which automatically determines the shortest race length and calculates fuel usage accordingly for increased accuracy and efficiency.
Note, unlike "Time" based race, finish criteria in "Laps & Time" based race is determined by both "remaining laps" and "remaining time" (whichever reaches zero first), such as seen from Qatar 1812km event.
Added "finish_time_difference_threshold" option to "Vehicles Module", which sets estimated finish time difference threshold between race leader and local player for determine the shortest race length (either in laps or time). Default threshold is "200" seconds (roughly a lap at LeMans).
When finish time difference is lower than threshold, shortest race length is determined by player's lap time pace. This is useful for compensating strategy difference within the same leading class, and potentially catching up with leader.
When finish time difference is higher than threshold, shortest race length is determined by leader's lap time pace. This is useful for much slower classes to align their finish time towards the leading class.
This option only affects "Lap" or "Laps & Time" based race.
API
Updated "pyLMUSharedMemory" library for accessing new API data from LMU's 1.3 updates.
"Le Mans Ultimate (legacy)" API is now deprecated and no longer maintained. It can still be selected from API menu, but no support for it, and will be removed in future.
Brands Preset
Now automatically detects and saves new vehicle brand names to "Brands Preset" for "LMU" (requested by "DanRZ"). It is no longer required to manually import brand data for "LMU".
Note, some brands may show longer full brand name now. If you use brand logo, make sure to update your brand logo file name to match the new longer brand name (can be viewed in "Vehicle Brand Editor").
Tyre Compound & Heatmap
Reworked general tyre compound display for related widgets, which now supports to display tyre compound & associated heatmap for each wheel separately.
Updated default tyre compounds preset with new custom compound color.
Added default "tyre_optimal_50", "tyre_optimal_60" heatmap presets for wet tyre.

Added "show_compound_color_by_type" option, which shows different compound color by compound type that can be customized in Tyre Compound Editor.
Removed "layout", "bar_gap", "display_order" options, as those options no longer worked with the new tyre compound display.
"Rate Of Change" (from Tyre carcass) & "Pressure Deviation" (from Tyre pressure) columns are now displayed horizontally at outer side of each tyre temperature reading.
Relative, Rivals, Standings Widget
Added "show_compound_for_each_wheel" option, which shows tyre compound symbol for each wheel. Compound symbol display order is arranged as "front left, front right, rear left, rear right". This option is enabled by default.
Disable "show_compound_for_each_wheel" option to show a single symbol for all tyres (requested by user "louisgendron26"), which allows a more compact view. If mixed tyres are used, a "X" symbol will be displayed instead, which can be customized by "mixed_compound_symbol" option.
Added "show_compound_color_by_type" option, which shows different compound color by compound type. Note, player's compound color is not affected by this setting while "show_player_highlighted" option is enabled.
Added "tyre_compound_spacing" option, which sets display spacing (in pixels) between each compound symbol. Default is "1" pixel.
Added "finish_status_text" option, which sets custom finish (checkered flag) status text that shows when driver finished race.

[New]Traffic Widget
Show the nearest traffic vehicles that are closing in, either the "slower" vehicle that you are catching up ahead, or the "faster" vehicle that is catching up from behind.
Note, vehicles are not counted as traffic if they cannot close the gap, or while in pit lane. For example, a driver that falls constantly 3 seconds behind you is not considered as traffic since he cannot close the gap and overtake you.
Show estimated laps towards nearest reachable traffic vehicles. For example, a "2.34L" value from "faster" column indicates the amount laps it would take for the faster vehicle that behind you to catch up with you; while same value from "slower" column indicates the amount laps it would take for you to catch up with the slower vehicle ahead.
Note, it may take 1 or more laps to get accurate estimates.
Highlight traffic vehicles that can potentially overtake or be overtaken from current lap, which is useful to determine fuel saving strategy.
