I can move the color slider up/down or the color target cursor and the
fields display 3 digits fine, but any attempt to type more than 2
digits or move the typing cursor behind the 3rd digit fails. This
occurs for all six of the color fields. (HSL/RGB) I've also noticed
than when I move the slider to high numbers one of the RGB fields
becomes out of sync with the rest by 2-3. (e.g., I can choose
204,204,206, but never 204,204,204) I've searched everywhere for an
answer and the closest I've come is someone mentioning the problem in
comment on an XP Theme site. No solution mentioned anywhere. (

I hope someone has the solution, because this is really frustrating!

Hello peter,

I'm using the standard color dialog at Display Properties > Advanced >
Color > Other...

My video card is an Intel 915GM/GSM, and the driver hasn't added any
tabs or other additional features to the Display Properties dialog.

i am not sure if this will work for you since I dont use it but by the
description it seems to be what you are looking for.

I use an Nvidea Video card and they come with a program that lets you adjust
RGB...among other things.

That's a great program for choosing colors, but it doesn't give me the
option of changing the colors in Display Properties, and I cannot enter
more than 2 digits into the RGB fields, as I mentioned in my original
post. I appreciate the attempt at finding a solution. Thanks, Peter!

Unfortunately, this problem is now affecting me everywhere the standard
color dialog is used, which is practically every piece of software
installed.


Respectfully,

Raven
