Hello there, I've just downloaded dw 2017. In the css when I pass the mouse over a color as for example #CCCCCC, I can't see the preview color in the usual little box. In dw 2015 I could. Many friends of mine have dw 2017 and they can see the preview color, why cannot I?!

Thank you in advance

Correct answer BenPleysier

My out-of-the-box version shows the following without tweaks or mods.

I don't think there is a setting that can influence this behaviour, that is why I suggested that there may be an error in the code. Dreamweaver does not like errors.

Try placing the line in a new document and see if that works. To simplify the process for you, just copy and paste the following into your document.

<style>
box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.075),0 0 8px rgba(102,175,233,0.6)}
</style>

Have a good day

If Dreamweaver does not function properly, it is usually because of an error in the code. Try a new document with just the colour part and see if it still misbehaves.

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

Hello BenPleysier,

it's not about code...i'm referring to a task that dw 2015 had...the preview color when you pass your mouse on it. Let me be clearer : If you don't remember #CCCCCC what color is, you have to put the mouse on the text "#CCCCCC" and the software lets me see a little(grey in this case) box on top the text. This function isn't in my dw 2017, but i'm sure is in a regular dw 2017. I think it's some kind of setting that I have to flag, maybe in the preferences menu. But I don't know wich is it and where I can find it.
