+1 from me too. As others have said, there's no good reason for these settings to live in the colour palette and not a floating window of their own.

The easy thing with the colour palette is to create a short key to bring it up on screen when needed. I did mine in with Mac OS shortcuts.

I'd have thought M1 native and testing of ARA is taking most resources right now.

I have one too. I just prefer it always on. Because I use it so frequently.

Yep. When they added the ability, the first shortcut I made was for the Color Palette. I'd had a macro for it on Mac for years, but on Windows, the way Microsoft tweaks little things in updates, that was less convenient. Now I have a consistent, reliable shortcut to open and close the palette. Which is nice. But, yeah, when you're organizing a large session with color, you need it sitting there, you need it out of the way, and you need to see as much of the Edit Window at once as possible.

It’s nothing to do with OCD. Many of us leave the the Colour Palette open in the obvious place over the toolbar where there’s space for it. It now obscures the bar number and marker lanes of the Edit Window. It’s poor design which requires opening and closing the Colour Palette to see the bar numbers and markers. Previously it didn’t.

Or the settings could just be in the... App Settings.

I have the colour picker open all the time in the upper right corner. I'm constantly selecting colours for my clips/groups via KM macros that I have set up, and also have Rx Connect open just below it. Not a huge deal, with all the other bugs to quash, but I'd sill appreciate having that flap at the bottom of the colour picker trimmed. It's just a cleaner look

For what it's worth I have added this issue to the feature request lounge on Avid Link which is in theory where we should ask for feature requests. Lol

Default Re: Colour Palette

When I get an album to mix, I use the colour palette to set up the session and then it goes away. Judging by what I read though, it is me that is out of step with other's use.

What about if we could have an option to add a row of colours on the mix window across the screen. An option to display like delay compensation or comments that run under the mixer channels.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get the palette to default to Tracks instead of Clips in Tracks?

I use the color palette just like you. Group tracks how I want them - open palette - change color for the group - close palette. Done.
As to your last thought -- maybe something in the color coding section of the display preferences would work for you?
