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…

Yeah, I also looked there, but strangely it doesn’t show on my installations (even in safe mode ): [image]

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.

You can only change the description.

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