Define Custom Colours

[Margaret Allen]

Hi
Did you know that if you double click on one of the four little boxes next to the "colour range" on the toolbar of the "pens" or the "fill tool" you can choose four of your favourite colours?
What is really clever is that your new choice will appear in both the pens and the fill tool palette.

However, in the last week I have seen this twice.....

Doing the above and "Define Custom Colours" is greyed out. Any suggestions why? Anyone else experienced it?

:eek:

Hi Margaret

As far as I am aware ACTIVprimary hooks into the standard Windows color selector - if this is greyed out I wonder if this is a default setting on your computer.

I have never noticed this at all - what is your desktop setting - the number of colors you allow Windows to use may effect this setting.

Just guessing, perhaps other will comment?

Well Cliff is right. Never seen this either. Must be a machine specific thing. However, we can programmatically force the colour dialog to open fully. This will appear on a later release.
