Okay, I feel stupid, but I cannot find the setting to change the color of a category (I’m sure there was such an option). Have it been removed?

If category style is set to none in site settings we hide colors.

From the home url, e.g. https://swi-prolog.discourse.group/ , you should see the all categories selector. ▶ Image For all categories open the drop down and select the category you want to change. ▶ Image The Edit button for the category will now be accessible if you have the privilege. ▶ Image Click E…

Are you trying to change the “uncategorized” category? That is not a real category but the null state of no category applied to a topic.

I also see the Edit button for uncategorized. Should I not? ▶ Image EDIT After seeing Jeff’s response. uncategorized is special. ▶ Image

You can only change the description.

Hmm, don’t have it even on a normal category [Screenshot_20200530-195116]
