Hi,

On a quick inspection, I can see no way to remove the custom color - other than fill all the boxes with white until the custom colors drop off the lower right hand box!!

PDR19 and the PDR20 help files differ with this :-

Note: after choosing your color, click the Add to Custom Colors button to save it and make it available in Custom colors the next time you enter the Color window.

so I can only infer that the behaviour has changed?

Cheers

I don't know whether this trick will work or not But you must be an super duper expert who always understand my issue.

Ok so things have defintely changed since I made that post and video for PD17.

The good news is that custom colors are indeed saved for future use. However, CL did not add any way to manage the existing custom colors and PDM's method is the only way to accomplish that from within PD.

If you want to remove all custom colors and you're comfortable editing the Windows registry, open up RegEdit and navigate to this key: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CyberLink\PowerDirector20\ then scroll down and delete the CustomColors entry.

If you want to get fancy, you can edit the individual colors as they're stored in a 3 byte hexadecimal RGB format with a trailing 00. For example, if the first custom color is this, the first 4 bytes will show 40 80 80 00. To remove any individual color, set the 3 color bytes to all FFs to make the color white (make sure you leave the 4th byte at 00).

Here's a composite view for the technically adventurous:

It Works. Thanks a lot for solving my problem.
