I managed to reach out to someone at MOTU, and it seems they think everything is behaving as it should on their end and Softube might have to work something out. I also know another guy with connections at Softube who told me that sometimes there are DAW-specific idiosyncrasies that have to ironed out. It's not necessarily indicative of a DAW developer dropping the ball, but due to some of the vagaries of plug-in standards. But I know that MOTU is aware of it and people are on the case. I'd love to have the color support as it would help me find a track more quickly on the OSD.
It couldn't be an easy task for Softube's plugin code to 'hook' into DP... Glad to hear both are working on it.

Now I don't need to hit the OK button on the C1 hardware when switching between AU / VST3 projects.
(Sorry for going kind off topic.. Just thought I'd mention as fellow C1 users are here)
Actually this is really a useful find! I find this was always popping up when going from Pro Tools to DP and vice versa since Pro Tools Console 1 support is so limited compared to DP. Since it’s purely informational and I just reflexively dismiss it whenever it pops up, definitely a great idea to turn this off!
Finally grabbed a screen capture of the dialog that pops up over the Console 1 OSD when I boot my Mac. I have never seen this before until the most recent Console 1 software update. I wonder what it's doing here?
