Display Properties in Model Builder

Question

I would like to change the color of directories in a model. Normally they are represented by a blue oval. I tried changing it to have a light purple fill color by right-clicking on it and selecting Display Properties. The moment the model is validated it reverts back to blue (even if I save the model first). How do I set the model to retain this color?

Fair enough - hopefully there has been some movement since Arc 9. Many thanks for your insight here Robert!

To my knowledge, no.  I found this link to assist with some explanation - https://support.esri.com/en/bugs/nimbus/TklNMDQ2MDMz

Currently experiencing this in 10.4.1. Has this been resolved?
