Default SWS Custom colors have been broken for as long as I can remember

Is it just me or have custom colors always been broken in some way or other? For the longest time colors 11-16 would just end being black and other colors usually ended up being not what was set in the color palette. Currently it looks like colors 1-10 work as expected, but 11-16 seem to change to a color that is not what is see.

I'm assuming that this is an OSX related, or else there would be more people with this issue?

Hi,

Having this exact problem! I wonder if it'll be fixed at some point.

SWS has been mostly dead for a while, since the developer moved on to a different audio company. There are one or two guys working on it, but the list of existing bugs is pretty long so it might be a while before any new releases show up.

Hi!

On my system (OSX) it works with this SWSColor File I found on Github:
https://stash.reaper.fm/v/30165/Fixed...olbar.SWSColor

Seemed to be a problem with the Format of the Color Values.
Also update SWS Extensions, there has been a new Version since yesterday!

Best,
Frank

It doesn't fix that issue, though.


The main problem is that Windows is using RGB, whereas macOS seems to be using GRB (or something similar, in any case it's not RGB, the order of colors in the hex codes is flipped in some way), so a conversion needs to be made.

At some point Justin added ColorFromNative and ColorToNative functions to API, but SWS isn't using them...
