"Add to custom colors" only allows one color to be saved

[Nick Lumb]

When setting part colours (ok I am from the UK and that is how we spell color), there is the option to "Add to custom colors" and this fills in the grid of custom colors when you create new ones. However, if you save one custom color from one part (or configuration) and then save a color from another part or configuration, it overrides the original custom color in the top left square. Is this just me? or is it a bug? is there a work around?

I hit the TAB (usually once) key until the first square of "custom colors" gets the focus. I use the arrow keys to move the focus on a empty square, then I click on "Add to custom colors"... I hope I'm clear enough... (English is not my language)
Maybe there is a easier/better method... :?:

Yes I believe you have it right. It saves it in what ever custom slot is selected, unless none is selected then it will be the first.

It really shouldn't overwrite as default.... :roll:

The way that I find easiest is:
- Click on the first blank (or unneeded) square .
- Create your color.
- Click "Create Custom Color" button.

If you want to erase a custom color:
- Click on its square.
- Click on the White color choice square.
- Click on "Create Custom Color" button.

If you want to erase them all:
- Click on the first square.
- Click on the White color choice square.
- Click repeatedly on "Create Custom Color" button until all the squares are wiped.
