Where are the My Colors stored?

Post by jcoria »

I have a project that I opened on another PC and the colors that I have added are not showing up? Where are they stored in the project files? Also is there a way to label them or edit their name?

Thank you.

They're not stored in the project, Flare keeps them in the registry.

If you're comfortable working with the registry, you can find them in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MadCap Software\Flare\Default, in CustomColors.
You can export that branch to a registry (.reg) file, and then import them on the other PC.

You can't label or name colours; the other HTML colour names (e.g. 'red') are fixed.

If you'd rather have the colors stored in the project instead of the registry, submit a feature request at http://www.madcapsoftware.com/bugs/submit.aspx.
