Change default color of IBM BW

Hi team,
Ive learnt that IBM BW tool can support BPMN 2.0 but in fact, I find many notations missing such as manual task, message task and we have to use different color (manual task = yellow color, message task= orange color) for these tasks.
Besides, IBM BW use default color (BLUE color) for process mapping --> users are confused when they print processes opn paper to review.
--> please improve this function on IBM Blueworks live.
Thank you so much.

    Thanks for your request, Hue! We plan to add manual tasks to the Blueworks Live process diagram in the future, but do not yet have a plan for it yet. This RFE will be updated when that changes.
    - As far as the Send Task, we have no plans to support that. The OMG BPMN working group added Message Events in version 2.0 and that is a better way to handle this in your process diagrams.
    - We have no plans to change the default (light blue) color of activities on the process diagram, but we will be adding additional colors to the color legend at some point in the future so you will have more colors to work with.
