I have a minor issue happening with Scrivener. It’s not hugely important but I am finding it annoying. For some reason I can’t change the color of the labels and I only get default pastel colors. When I double click on the color, nothing happens, when previously the color selector would open up and you could choose which color you want. Anyone have this problem or know how to fix it? I’ve tried closing/ reopening the program and restarting my computer but it stays the same.
What may be of significance here is the version of macOS. I don’t see any issues here on 15.2.
Another thing to check is whether the colour palette opens at all. I would first try in the main text editor, use the Format ▸ Color... menu command or shortcut. If it doesn’t come up, then try Format ▸ Fonts ▸ Show Colors in the stock TextEdit application.
Yes, Thanks for your input. The color palette opens for texts so it isn’t a problem with the color palette. I did recently update the OS and I suspect this may be what is affecting it.
Okay, at this point I would go into settings, and under General: Warnings, enable the Show internal error alerts option. If something breaks badly enough while trying to use colours, you’ll get a message with some diagnostic data to share.
So try it with the Labels tab in Project Settings, as you have been, and look for messages.
Next, does it open for other things that might want to “attach” themselves to the palette? A few similar places in Scrivener would be in the Project ▸ Project Keywords panel, and the various colour settings scattered throughout the Appearance settings tabs.
