A little while ago I asked Santa Bioware for a few totally reasonable things, including a problem that was plaguing me for some time: color matching in the preview window (or rather lack thereof). Well Santa Bioware obviously thinks I haven’t been THAT naughty this year, because this gem was in today’s patch notes (Thanks @jasporDH for telling me):
The preview window no longer ignores Unify Color settings.
I won’t have to make a COPY of every item (or BUY it) and then bind it to me to see how it matches – I can just preview it! Undignified squealing commencing… now!

WOOO!!!!!
Santa must know how bad you’ve been – they added the preview for unify color. But broke it on your actual companions. Hello new bug – companion’s are rainbow colored again!!
Wait, seriously? In the preview window or for realsies?
(Having said that, I just outfitted my companions in matching social gear, so the joke’s on Bioware there.)
I haven’t verified it myself yet (@work) but someone just posted so on Reddit a little while ago.

Boo-urns.
I read that note this morning before work and immediately thought of you, I was waiting for this post to hit
I hadn’t heard about the companion thing yet. That sucks.
Poor Corso. He was matching when I logged out last night.
