Topic: Colour Schemes

I seem to have lost all the pre-set colour schemes that came with PPX9. How can I get them back? I have the original installation CD.

Re: Colour Schemes

Do you mean " the schemes" if so you need to go to view/tabs.  Vicki

Re: Colour Schemes

Yes, I have the 'schemes' tab visible but it only lists the ones I have recently used, not the full original list. The 'colour scheme designer' box shows the same thing.

Re: Colour Schemes

Have you tried Tools>Color Scheme Designer or, perhaps, Tools>Palette Manager?

Re: Colour Schemes

yes and yes in both cases. I've tried everything I can think of, short of a ctrl + start-up reset.

Then try that. It worked for me.

Re: Colour Schemes

Nope - even that didn't work. Any more ideas?

Re: Colour Schemes

As long as there’s a tick in the ‘Also delete local settings files’ checkbox, I’ve never known Ctrl-runup to fail to reset the legacy ‘Plus’ applications to their installation defaults.

Yep - forgot to tick that box. All OK now. Many thanks to Alfred and all other respondents.
