When I am 'tweaking' a pattern I often want to change colours around,
with a large pattern and many colours it slows me down to have to keep dropping to the colour palette and selecting the colour then finding my place in the pattern again.
Would it be possible to add something to the right mouse menu that could show the last 4/5 colours used? This would make life so much easier!
Thanks

The current floss palette always is positioned on the row of the current selection. If the color you wish to use is near where you want ot use it, there is a mouse-key-click (customizable) to select that color. Then just click away as normal with the selected color. Is that what you need?

There is no such thing as a stupid question |

Umm you lost me there, can you explain what you mean please?
I think that the customizable right click you mean is the one under short cut clicks in the options menu, I have to make a choice then as to whether I use the right click to select a colour, or to erase a mistake (and boy do I make a lot of mistakes!)

The floss pallete is, by default, shown at the bottom of the window, below the edit window. The available colors palette is the slide-in window from the side. From your original post, it seemed like you were wanting to select a color from those already defined for that project. That is the floss palette, not the available colors palette.
If the number of colors you are using is greater than will show in one row in the floss palette, it takes on a "scroll-bar". Any time you select a color, either by the short-cut click, "Pickup Color" or by the direct selection in the floss-palette, the palette brings that "row" visible and it remains there until another color is selected.
You can select a color 3 ways:
First you can move to the floss palette and left click (default) on any color. The second way is to click on the "color-picker" icon (looks like an eye dropper). Then the next color you left-click on is selected as the current color. That new color is shown and highlighted (box) in the floss palette. The third way is to use a short-cut to do step 2 in one action. I have alt-right set to "pickup color". Just move your mouse to a stitch of the desired color and do alt-right-click and that becomes the "current" color and is shown in the floss-palette.
Do I make sense? |

<Bangs head on desk! >
You make perfect sense and so did your first post when I read it again today with my brain in!
I had completely forgotton about ALT-Right clicking, I had that set up in PCStitch7. Its so long since I set all that up I forgot I had done it and couldnt think why I couldnt do the same thing in Pro.
Perhaps working on a pattern for over 4 hours at a stretch is not such a good idea, it stops your brain from functioning!
Thanks for your help Diane!
