If I have the download settings (at /admin/settings/file-system) set to private, the color.module colour selector thingamy does not appear on my (garland) theme configuration settings. If I set the download setting to public, the colour selector appears and functions correctly. If I return download setting to private, the colour selector disappears again, but the actual colour selection holds.

As the workaround for this is pretty easy (for admins) I've marked as minor bug. I'm only guessing that the problem lies within color.module.

For more info, try this forum thread: http://drupal.org/node/125736#comment-209555

good luck :)

This is by design as the color scheme generator is incompatible with private filedownloads. Issues to either add a message (for 5; http://drupal.org/node/103528) or rework the file system (for 6) already exist.

I do not know what happened... but all of a sudden the colors on my site went back to the defaults and when I went to change them back the module colour selector disappeared. This is happing in (garland). My file settings are public. Can anyone help?

Try disabling the color module, then uninstall it, clear the site cache and finally reenabling the module again.

Also, try manually deleting all of the folders and CSS files that the color module creates.
