I'm trying to change the default Fill Color for StickyNote replies, and I'm just not finding anything in the documentation that is helping me figure out what/where that would be.
Obviously changing StickyNote is accomplished with the following property (Along with Name, Type, and Opacity):
Commenting.StickyNote.Styles[x].Fcolor
but Replies do not seem to use this same color, and I'm not sure if they are even counted as StickyNotes or are their own annotation type I cannot quite figure out.

The above setting does not seem to exist, are you sure that is the name? Also Commenting.Reply doesn't exist anywhere in the documentation I am using.

Re: Setting StickyNote reply properties.
Furthermore, I'm guessing, based on the registry key HKCU\Software\Tracker Software\PDFViewer\Commenting that the only things that may be customized are:
Area, Arrow, Callout, Cloud, Distance, FileAttachment, Highlight, Line, Link, Oval, Pencil, Perimeter, Polygon, PolyLine, Rect, Replace, Stamp, StickyNote, StrikeOut, TextBox, TypeWriter, Underline.
That said, running the standalone PDF Viewer app, it sure seems like you guys are saving the reply properties, so they have to be somewhere. I'll keep poking around but if you have any more info that would be great!

Sorry, my mistake. The correct name is:
Commenting.Reply.FColor

Re: Setting StickyNote reply properties.
Ha you work quickly, I was JUST about to reply saying that by poking the registry, I noticed Reply was unique in that it didn't have a style, so yeah, I just tried Commenting.Reply.Type and Fcolor and both of those work directly, so I should be good to go now, thank you very much.
