Composite markers generated with Avenue are in the wrong color on the view

Description

After running the 'Create composite marker' script, the new marker appears as expected in Symbol Window, but the marker is in the wrong color when added to the view. Also, the foreground and back ground colors can not be changed independently.

Cause

The script used to generate the marker does not lock the marker element colors.
