I've updated a post above.
I think the right answer to this question is that you should use the Context Bar to set the brush color, not the Color panel.
Seems like it - not sure why the colour wheel on the right works but only sometimes though - bit confusion there seems to be a lot of confusion on this software with different buttons that do the same thing - especially on the brushes

That depends on how you try to duplicate it. There are at least 2 ways you can do that. Are you doing it from the Context Bar, or from the Brushes panel, for example?
Swipe Left from the Brushes Panel - I'm sure there was some way to duplicate it before that saved Brush Copy 1, 2 etc

It seems from my testing that you can only set the color of a pixel brush when you are working in a pixel layer, or you do not have a vector layer selected. If you do have a vector layer selected, you need to deselect it, or add a pixel layer (via the Layers panel, or by painting), before you can change the brush color.
Oh well I'm glad they improved the userability of the apps in V2 then 🤦♂️

A blue box would indicate the active brush preset.
A red box indicates the active brush preset has been modified (size, opacity, or other change to the basic brush definition). Nothing to worry about.
Cheers - would be nice if it retained the settings when duplicating the brush though ? otherwise how do I save a copy of the brush I'm using ?
-
I'm trying to duplicate a Brush so I can save the brush settings and it's just resetting everything too
I'm off to Adobe world see ye later
-
Why does it keep putting this red box round the brush I have selected too ? What does it mean - looks like a warning about something
-
You know what else this bug where if you CTRL+Z to clear the brushes and start again it leaves a massive splodge that isn't there
Is it always going to do that or are there any plans to fix this particular bug because I'm seriously fed up with it it just screws up my work flow constantly

That will depend on your Assistant settings, I think, and possibly what object/layer you have selected currently.
My assistant settings are set to add pixel layers - this is what has been happening and nothing in the settings have changed
-
Nope it's doing it again - it's like if I try to add a pixel layer to an object it's just stuck on the colour it's filled with from Vector Mode
If I just create a pixel layer and add it then I can get round this though
-
Breaking News - it's working again 🤦♂️

Just a guess: Maybe try creating a Pixel Layer?
It's supposed to create a Pixel Layer for me - it will create a Pixel in the colour it's stuck on
Why are these videos I uploaded no longer embedding?
-
I got it - I need to click on Colour Overlay first to set the Context Menu
Whatever was there on the Context Menu before when I was trying to do this wasn't the menu I needed
-
I thought it might be something to do with the document I’m working on ie. Missing fonts but I just opened a new document and tried this and it’s not letting me pick the colour of my pixel brush
-
Nope - it's not letting me pick the colour again - I'm away to play computer games for the rest of the night !😡
-
I just closed the app and reopened it and now it's working so this probably needs to be in the bug section
-
That's a screen shot from AP2 not AD2
Anyway I found the bit in the context toolbar and it's not working either
Why is nothing working on this software today - every time I go away and come back to use this software it's just problem after problem !
-
Anyone got any ideas why I can’t set the colour for my Pixel Brush ?
It’s just stuck on Grey - won’t let me pick any other colour - video showing me trying to pick a colour with my pencil and it just naps back to the Grey
-
Found it
Maybe if the tiny wee corner icon had responded the last time I tapped it ( under Fill Tool )
-
It's missing from the toolbar down the left
-
I'm in the FX menu and all I seem to be able to to do is turn Colour Overlay on and off
I can't get it to set the colour - I've tried holding the pen down on Colour Overlay and swiping left or just using the Colour Wheel on the top right and I can't figure it out
I've done this before on V1 but haven't used V2 much yet - I think on V1 I just held the pen down for a second and it opened up the window
So what do I do - how do I set the colour ?
-
Alien Invasion - it's for a tour poster - I'm not saying any more than that until it's finished
Looking at a set of font type I made myself a few years ago - or who knows still looking around

Go meander about bugles elsewhere - this is Spam

Why are you posting about bugles in my thread ?
What do bugles have to do with anything !

I don’t think the word ‘bickering’ means what you think it means! You asked how Hamburgefonstiv could be misconstrued, and I merely attempted to answer that question. I shan’t bother in future.
Sure - Feel free to keep any other ridiculous arguments to yourself
Is the name of the company who runs this forum Hamburger ? Are there any companies that deal with design software or fonts called Hamburger ?
I suppose If they had written Hamburgefonstiv then maybe I might think it was the name of the designer company that designed the font ?
If you write something like "by" <Something> in example font text then it's not hard for anyone to assume whatever the <Something> is might be who designed the font !
What an absolutely pointless counter-argument to what I thought was a reasonable and valid point
