Changing colours

I am having some issues changing the colours of a Theme.
Under Page Info/Styles/Layout Colours I am trying to adjust the 'Colour Sliders' by manually inputing RGB co-ordinates e.g. R=222, G=222, B=222. However after inputing the figures the selected colour in the Layout Colours palette does not change.

If I use 'Colour Wheel' or 'Colour Palettes' it works fine.
Is this due to Rapidweaver only accepting Hex colour values?

    Hi Mark,

    Thanks for the message. I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with RapidWeaver, I understand what an inconvenience this may be for you.

    I'm currently unable to recreate this issue myself - are you able to consistently recreate this issue across different themes? What theme are you currently using?

    Kind regards,

    Luke

    Hi Luke
    Thanks for getting back. I have tried a different Theme and I get the same result.I'll try and explain with the aid of some screen shots:
    1. Create a new RapidWeaver project.2. Add a Styled text page.3. Select a Theme, for this example I selected 'Alpha' From the RapidWeaver Themes.4. Click on Page Info (top right of screen).5. Select Styles.6. Open the Colours drop down menu and select any colour.    This will open the colour mixer palette7. Select the 'Colour Sliders' option from the five choices at the top.8. Select RGB Sliders from the drop down menu.9. Manually enter different values for RGB ie R=80, G=70, B=20. ATTACHED.
    The Theme colour does not change. If you close the Colour picker window and select the colour you thought would have changed, the setting have reverted back to the original Theme colours.
    I have found that if you use the three sliders to get the values you need, it works fine. But if you manually type the figure in it doesn't work.
    I hope this helps.
    I will continue to use the sliders to get the results I am after. I just felt it was faster and more acurate to input the figures manually.
    Thanks againMark

    Hi Mark

    Thanks for your message and update. We'll take a look into this and see if it's something we can fix for a future update. Much of the colour picker is handled by Mac OS X however we'll see what can be done!

    Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

    Kind regards,

    Nik
