For some reason my color settings are not sticking in Matrix.... Just change the color to Green. Look at the pictures below.

Thank you!  I actually did figure this out!  I also needed to install the Color Picker Addon (I guess it's optional) to change the color.

I also figured out my other "problem"--once I repointed all the preloaded widgets to my AutoWidgets groups, all is well---no more blank screen.

Prior to this, I was trying to do it in two steps (first delete the widgets (in settings), go to Homescreen and then back to settings--this does not work).  

I had to unlock the hubs, and make the widget changes on the Homescreen itself, then everything works fine.

Thanks again for all your help.

Maybe someone else will see my "mistakes" and it will help them!
