Xgen how to change viewport hair color?

[mostly_human]

I am using arnold with xgen and am trying to figure out how to change the colors of the hairs in the viewport (the primitives not the groom), they are very washed out whitish and I need to darken them.  Im not sure where it gets its color information from, changing the arnold shader doesnt affect it, and neither does the Xgen hair shader.  Thanks in advance for any help!

Currently, the aiHair shader is not fully supported in the VP. You can change the primitive color in the preview/output tab:

and if you want, you can attach a different shader for use in the VP and connect the aiHairshader to use as the arnold surface shader:

You can hook up the outputs of the VP shader to the inputs of the aiHair shader as well, to keep the two in sync

Thank you for the help guys, It looks like they must have updated Arnold because after digging around I did find the area that handles the hardware shading, it was under the Extra Attributes rollout of the aiHair shader.
