Colors window not responding

[Kasey Capone]

I’ve noticed that a single click works to select colors.

Double clicking on the original color in order to select a new color tends to
get me nowhere.

Maybe that’s it, I’ll try tomorrow.

Why would the window open up on a dbl click but not function? that’s not right..

Thanks

What happens when you control/right-click on a color well? Do you get the Motion color picker?

In Motion the Colors window it works exactly like the system color picker. Single click opens the palette and also selects the color well for editing. If you want to pick a different color well while the Colors palette is still open, just click on it (it should highlight darker). Clicking on a color well “de-selects” it so it no longer responds to the Colors palette.

The reason why the double-click isn’t working is because when you double-click, you’re basically clicking once to get Colors window, then clicking again immediately after to de-select the color well, which breaks the link between the window and the color well that needs to accept the changes.
