Where did the WYSIWYG Theme Editor go?

Hi,
Apologies in advance is this is a really stupid question..
A while ago I set up a 5.x drupal site and was playing around with the WYSIWYG theme editor in Drupal (the one where you can change colours on existing themes etc). I have since set up a new Drupal site and can't find that editor at all. From what I remember it came with Drupal core... Is there anything specific I need set up for it to work? The only thing I can think of is the GD library which says it's installed in the status report
(GD library bundled (2.0.28 compatible))
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,

Go to your themes list, and
Go to your themes list, and hit configure. If the theme implements the color module you'll be able to change the colors. As far as I know, Garland is the only theme that ships with Drupal that makes use of this module. If the color editor is not showing up for the Garland theme, go to modules and make sure the color module is enabled.
Hope that helps.
Still no luck
Thanks for the reply. The color module is enabled, and I'm hitting configure on the Garland theme and it's still not showing the colour changer for theme. Any other suggestions?
You might be running on
You might be running on another server that does not support the color picker - there are some server requirements for that like GDlib or ImageMagick and some directory permission must be set.
If those requirements are not met, the color picker won't be there

I work for Ontwerpwerk
Yeah I'm definitely running
Yeah I'm definitely running on a different server this time. The first server was on a VM running Ubuntu that I had full control over. This one is on Drupal hosting.
But I do have control over the permissions set on the files - if you can point me towards which file should have more permissions I can try that.
The funny thing is I just went back to that VM that it used to work on.. It's not working anymore either.
I had private downloads set
I'm all sorted now. I had private downloads set. Also I didn't find it while googling earlier cos I didn't realise it was called the color picker. A quick google with color picker as the search terms found me the solution here - http://drupal.org/node/109457
It's a shame the color picker doesn't work when you have private downloads set. I've had to set public downloads just so I can get this to work.
