Apologies if this is already a known issue. Was present in v33 as well. On Mac the Add Color and subsequent "Change Color" button / color picker is totally unresponsive. If you select "Add color" from the drop-down menu the default seems to be a pinkish hue but zero ability to adjust it. Clicking "Change Color" button gets zero response. The brightness and contrast sliders above the color picker DO work. I'm specifically using Modern Cards: Dark, however I tried this on 5 different skins (older and newer) and got the same result. See screenshot.

• Select View > Skin > Skin Effects
• Below the Brightness and Contrast Sliders select "Add Color" from the Effects drop-down menu
• Click the Change Color button.

Is there an XML file somewhere that sets the initial color hue? I could at least go adjust that value manually so the default color is what I prefer.

For every skin available for use in MC there is a folder that contains the main.xml file and up to over 100 images; to change just the background color in a skin takes a lot of time and patience because some areas of the skin are built using images to provide the background whilst other use Colors instructions.

So I would not recommend anyone who has no experience of creating/modifying  an MC skin making changes to any MC Standard View Skin until the Guide to Standard View Skinning is Published; mainly because they will encounter the problem that guide hopefully address, a lack of detailed, up to-date information on how to do it.

Add Color works for me under Windows. The Change Color button shows a standard color picker dialog.
