GuideBuilder Color picker - not allowing custom colors?

[Former Community Member]

Hi There,

I'm Using Livecycle Designer 8.2.1 to create a form Guide from an xdp.

I'm trying to define a custom color for a text label (say #565656).  GuideBuilder will let me enter the value in the box (in the entry), but will not save it.  I can only pick one of the "pre-programmed" colors from the pallette

I can't use CSS or a style, as I need multiple colors within the one text field.  Is there a way I can do this in GuideBuilder??  Can I redefine a color in the pallette

Thanks,

I tried it here and was able to change the caption color in the Customize Appearance area. I entered in the 565656 (with or without the # does not matter) in the box provided then hit enter to commit the value. It then stuck. If I did not hit enter then it did not stick

Hope that helps

Thanks Paul -

Unfortunately when I enter the value in the area and press enter, it places a carriage return into the text entry area, and does not change the color of the text (or stick).  If I have highlighted some text within the text area, then it is replaced with a carriage return.

I am trying to edit the caption of a field.  Is there any other way?

On retesting again - you are right - (using Designer 8.2.1) If I place the cursor at the beginning of the box (without any other text highlighted), I can change the color.  I can copy and paste coloured text if I need to reposition it in a different part of the text area
