I'm using BB2021 build 815 on a Win 10 laptop.

When I go into Options-> Preferences clicking on either "Display" or Color" I get the same screen, with the colour swatch in the top left.

Is this happening to anyone else?

Happening here also.

A third way is to right-click on the chord chart and select Display Options.

I somehow think that Display and Colors buttons functionality was merged a couple of years ago when they introduced the new form for setting individual colors.

Hi Trev,
Thanks for checking .... but how do I now change the background colours of, say, the chord chart?

Hi Keith,
Yes, that one is a little bit 'hidden away' as the heading doesn't standout as a drop-down combo.
First, select the item you want from the drop-down combo, and then click on the color you prefer.

Well, this is really weird. I have a desktop using Win7/BB2021 and build 814 (as opposed to 815). If I select "Colors"this is what I get.

(Sorry about sending the same thing three times frown )

See what happens when you "fiddle"? (inside joke)

I'll send a message through to Support

Hi all, I can confirm that build 814 goes to the correct "color" settings, where newer builds bring up the "display" settings. I'll make a report to development on that.

This is the response I received:

Hello,

Build 815 is the proper way for the program to display the color scheme for Band-in-a-Box. This was changed a few years ago and the older method was inadvertently reverted to in the earlier builds of the recent program.

Thank you,
Dave

This is interesting and relates to other issues we have seen where things that were previously 'fixed' become 'broken' again.

I suspect that more than one set of files is being referenced in the build process, depending on where the linking/build is done from.

We saw this recently with the Loop button menu options that stated 'Never oop entire song'. That was broken then fixed and then broken again and now fixed again.
