My galaxy editor has displayed odd colors

SEE THE TWO ATTACHED PICTURES FIRST

Can anyone help me make the images on my galaxy editor normal again? There used to be this layer of purple and blue over everything and now it shows all terrain and units as white. Please help!

I get this sort of problem all the time. Usually it's just a matter of manually resetting the view settings back to how I like them. I have also noticed some of the "special" view (like lighting) can get stuck while turned on, causing then to not disappear when they are supposed to. I can usually solve this trying to turn them on and off again.

In your first image, the entire terrain is shown as purple probably because you have Pathing enabled. You can turn this off by unchecking View -> Show Pathing -> Show Mesh (or Alt+Ctrl+H)

I'm not entirely sure what is the terrain to appear white in your second image. It is possible it is caused by the Shader Mode being setting incorrectly. Make sure you have View -> Show Shader Mode -> Standard checked.

If you still can't solve the issue, here are my settings that I use (the following are all checked, if it is not mentioned, then it should be unchecked):

• View
  • Show Layer
    • Terrain
    • Units
    • Doodads
    • Lock Visibility For Active Layer
  • Show Names
    • Points
    • Regions
  • Show Helper Models
  • Show Difficult
    • All
  • Show Lighting
    • Game
  • Show Shader Mode
    • Standard
  • Show Shadows
  • Show Fog Effects
  • Show Particles
  • Show Background
  • Show Grid
    • Small
  • Show Terrain
    • Show Bounds
    • Show Creep
    • Show Water
