Picture Editor Color Selection Broken

Okay, so I've had this problem for a long time(probably all the way back to .90), and I think I submitted it to the bug-tracker at one point too, but I don't think it's been fixed yet. For me, in the sprite editor, I can't select colors using the color selector box, which means I have to make the most basic of sprites using Paint because the only color I can use is transparent. I think it might have something to do with Vista, as it works fine on both XP computers in my house.

Anybody else having this problem?

Thats weird. Instead of using paint though, try GIMP or Paint.NET.

GIMP: http://www.gimp.org

Paint.NET: http://www.getpaint.net

These are both open source, and are free equivilents of Photoshop.

And no, I do not have this strange problem. (I use Vista for Construct)

Hi linkman2004,

I think I got a quick fix for you. I think your problem with the color selector box is the opacity setting.

On the right hand side of the picture editor, right above the RGB / HSL tabs you have the O: (opacity) Setting you must have that set to "0" you need to set that back to "255". You than sould be able to pick colors agian. Or should I say you can see the colors you pick.

I did this my self once. I wanted to make a transparent background so I set the O: (opacity) Setting to "0". Then I left the editor.

The problem came in when I went back in to the editor, It save the settings for the O: (opacity) from last time. So when I was trying to pick colors nothing would come up. It took me a little bit to figure it out.

I hope this helps you out.

I already use GIMP for my better art, the problem arises when I need single color boxes where it would simply be faster to make it in Construct.

I tried this, but it didn't work. Thanks for the suggestion, anyways.

Even though it's been two weeks since the last post, I'd just like to mention that this was fixed after reinstalling Vista.
