No hierarchical layers, no layer colors in layer list

Hello all,
I'm user of QCAD Pro from a year ago. I used hierarchical layers, but a few days ago I decided to disable it just to see what happened with layer names and so on. The problem is that right now I don't know how to enable again them! I looked everywhere and I didn't see the option.
I have another doubt, regarding to the color of the layer. I can see in some of your screenshots that you can "preview" your layer color in the layer toolbar. I cannot, I just see the visibility, the lock/unlock icon, and the name of the layer; but not the color.
I'm using 3.12.8.0 version in OS X.

You might have to restart QCAD after changing the preference.

Colors should always be visible in the layer list if you are using QCAD Professional. Could it be that you are using the free QCAD Community Edition? QCAD CE has no hierarchical layers and no colors in the layer list. You can check under
QCAD > About QCAD.
As a QCAD Professional user, please make sure that you always download QCAD by clicking the download link that was sent to you via e-mail or from our online shop as described
on our web site.

I checked it looks like I'm using QCAD Pro version. I copy&paste text in "About QCAD Professional" window, on the QCAD Pro menu:

I just downloaded last update from RibbonSoft website and tried again, but it's happening the same thing with hierarchical layers and colors in the layer tool widget.

You might have to reset your configuration by deleting the file ~/.config/QCAD/QCAD3.ini as described in detail at:
