[Mesquitelist] ver 2.5: changing colors for character states?

[Andrea Weeks]

Hi there,

I am having difficulty adjusting the colors that are assigned to  
traced character states and wondered if there is a bug that is  
preventing me from doing so. I am using the newest Mac OSX version.

1) The directions "For categorical and molecular data, you can change  
the colors used in Trace Character by double clicking on the color  
rectangle in the Trace Legend. Revert to Default Colors is available  
in the Trace menu."

This doesn't work. Double clicking on the legend does nothing.  
Control-clicking opens only Font/Size options.  The "revert to  
default colors" isn't listed in the Trace-over-Trees drop down menu.

2) There are no apparent options in the Character Matrix Editor or  
State Names Editor to adjust color of the states as they are traced  
on a tree.

Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.


Andrea
