I've been making some custom colour schemes in Waveform 13, but some some reason I can't change the 13th colour. This is always a dark blue. Is this a bug?

I'm currently looking into colour schemes for Waveform 13 myself (I did some of the factory ones in T7 I think it was) and I can only change some sliders. Is this a restriction of the free version (I still use Waveform free 11 on a day to day basis because it gives me all I need).

There are some colour boxes displayed at the bottom but I can't change them, or have not worked out how to yet.

The only things I can change is overall Hue, Saturation, Background, Highlights, Vividness and two accents. it would be cool if we could change the track/clip colours (besides vividness) and the waveform colour as well.

Does this work in the full version?

In the Pro version I can change the colour of every second box, which affects the boxes around it.

Interesting. And what can you change in the ui by doing so?

Either a bug or a very weird choice.

The most obvious 1-to-1 is the clip colours, but the boxes also match with the primary and secondary highlights.

now that I tried the pro version demo I can finally change colours and reproduce this bug...

it's fun to have different clip colours

would be REALLY cool to have this as a feature extension, since it really is all I'm missing from the pro version (well edit groups might be fun but I'm not really missing them)

it's hard to make really nice schemes around this one blue box.... but I'm still having fun

since I like working around an obstacle:

this is a scheme that simply incorporates the unchangeable colour

I quite like it.

I just read this: https://www.tracktion.com/products/wave ... e-features

and it states "long-term users will welcome the return of an updated and fully customisable colour editor"

so it might be that me being unable to use the colour palettes in Waveform free, might just be a bug and not a restriction.
