TestStand 4.0 Operator Interface Changes Not Seen

Question

Hi guys,
Ive worked with TestStand before, but now im trying to modify the operator interface (located C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 4.0\UserInterfaces\NI\Simple\LabVIEW).  Well, i try to modify the VI in the project, but i cant see my changes when i run the VI.  Ive tried building the executable and see that hte executable does get rebuilt, but none of my changes show up. 
Also, how does the "entrypoint 1" button get renamed to something else when the VI actually runs?
thanks
jeff

Looking at the help, it appears that the TestStand button only uses the system color unless it is in toolbar mode. If you want to use a LabVIEW button instead, you can implement the button action by calling <SequenceFileViewMgr>.GetCommand(...).Execute().
This thread might help you determine when to dim or enable the button: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=330&message.id=15720
Here is the button help:
BackColor Property
Syntax
Button.BackColor
Data Type
Color
Purpose
Specifies the background color for the Button control.
Remarks
When you set Style to ButtonStyle_ToolBar, this setting applies to the face and border of the button. When you set Style to ButtonStyle_Standard, the button face adheres to the system settings, and this setting affects only the border of the button.
