Linked Midi Button on Layout Reset

I have a "Multiple Midi buttons" widget on my layout showing only the Pinned presets (of which there's only one).
The preset in question unmutes the vocal reverb FX on my mixer via OSC message, and it is linked to another preset which mutes it.

The Button's Icon changes colour between white and orange as the button is pressed, and (assuming nobody changes the channel mute via some other device or software) reflects the correct state of the Reverb channel.

However as soon as I change song in bandhelper, the button reverts to the white colour - regardless of the state it was in on the previous song's view - which may or may not reflect the actual state in the mixer. The next press will send the UNMUTE message, so at least the state re-syncs at that point.

My question is, is there any way to preserve the state of the button when switching songs? It's so tantilisingly close to being near-perfect solution.

As a bonus question, is there a way to edit the colours that the Button Icon will show after each press?

You can turn on Settings > Audio & MIDI > Persist Paired Preset States to leave a paired MIDI preset in its active state when changing songs.

You cannot change the button color.

Great! Thanks for the response, Arlo. The colour is a very minor thing, and I wasn't really expecting it to be configurable, just pushing my luck!

The Setting is the main thing I was looking for, and will certainly make life easier.
