How does 'Alarm Color' work?

[Bluemax]

I have defined different colors to my zones (Alarm Colour (Red/Green/Blue)) but they neither change their border color/pattern nor do they get highlighted in that color in the video player seek bar (that's the actual reason i want a different color). The color is always red.

Is it intended for something different or is it a bug?

Reviving this old post because I have the same question. My understanding is that the active blobs are supposed to have this colored border around them (the default being red). Motion detection is working well, but there are no outlines anywhere.

I started with 1.35.14 I think... and have upgraded as they become available... now on 1.36.17.

Some more info about one of the zones I'm using:

Type: Active
Units: Pixels
Alarm Check Method: Blobs
