From the little bit to be seen in the video, I deduct that you use version 11.5 and are creating a responsive project. Such a project doesn't allow a choice of a playbar, which means you cannot edit it neither.

Terminology is a problem: although the Skin editor settings are part of the Theme of a project, I didn't see anything related with the other components of the theme. It is indeed confusing that you see that word 'Theme' in the setup of the skin.

Only a non-responsive project allows editing colors of the playbar, those settings should be dimmed for a responsive project.

Thanks for a concise response. Do you feel this is a correct design choice by Adobe, or is it done due to a limitation?

Being just a user, I can not judge any decision about design. For a responsive project the playbar is much less important even than for a non-responsive project since you have the gestures as feature. Moreover the space allowed in a phone or tablet browser is much more limited. That is also the reason you can only have a TOC in overlay for that type of projects. Personally I never use a playbar, always create custom navigation buttons and other buttons.

Could you please supply more information?

What Captivate version and what OS version are you on?
Did this previously work for you and then suddenly stop working, or is this happening the first time you try to use it?
Does this happen for all projects or just one particular project?
