Change category color setting

[tpetrov (Toni Petrov)]

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?

From the home url, e.g. https://swi-prolog.discourse.group/, you should see the all categories selector.

For all categories open the drop down and select the category you want to change.

The Edit button for the category will now be accessible if you have the privilege.

Click Edit

Don’t for get to click Save Category when done

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

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?

EDIT

After seeing Jeff’s response. uncategorized is special.

You can only change the description.

Hmm, don’t have it even on a normal category

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

Yes, it was that. Thanks
