color or style box is empty

[Aaron Joel]

I am sort of new with this program, very new, I seem to have lost the color wheel or whatever the color thing is called, how do I get it back?

we could be talking about a few different things here.

ACCIDENTALLY CLOSED WINDOWS

1) the color wheel has disappeared. under the windows drop down menu select STYLE EDITOR. this will open the style editor window.

2) the window where your styles (colors) are kept has disappeared. under the windows dropdown menu, select PALETTE. this will open the palette window.

OR PERHAPS BOTH OF THOSE WINDOWS ARE STILL OPEN BUT THE STYLES ARE MISSING FROM YOUR PALETTE WINDOW (STYLE BOX IS EMPTY) AND YOU SEE THE WORDS "-NO STYLES-".

palettes are connected to levels so when you create or select a level in the xsheet the palette/styles associated with that level will be displayed in the Palette Window.

Thank you Joshua, I got my scene level selected, but only white and black color styles are showing, no color wheel thing you can change colors with, I am lost again...

[Aaron Joel]

OK, I think I got it now. sorry I  am having a hard time with this, very frustrating.

If the style editor window is open, you should be able to see/change the color/brush for the selected style. Double clicking on a style in the level panel should open the style editor if it is not already in the room.

It takes a little bit of time to get comfortable, but OpenToonz is really great once you get the hang of it.
