recolor artwork - advanced options

Hello,

When selecting the recolor artwork menu, the end of the menu cannot be reached. I cannot access the advanced options. I look forward to your help in solving the problem

Thank you

My workaround for this:

Once you have the recolor menu open (and "advanced" is beyond your view), tap the F key till you see it (F cycles through "Full Screen" modes - 2 hits and you should see it), make your selections, hit OK, then cycle back to regular view by hitting F key again.

This beats having to change the display then restart AI everytime you want to switch between theme picker and advanced in the recolor menu.

October 2023 and  I am having the same issue  - I can't access advanced options on the recolor panel! this is very annoying. My computer matched all the requirements in the link provided below, but I still can't see the bottom of the panel, can't reach it, can't scroll to it. Maybe it is soemthing in the AI settings that I need to change? My screen resolution is 1920x1080, all other requirements are passing with flying colors (RAM, processor, etc.). Please help me to figure it out, it's just a shame that I can't use the recolor featire in int fullest. Here is how I see it, the bottom of the panel is not reachable.

Hello @Reham.AB,

 

Thanks for reaching out. As pointed out by Monika, Illustrator currently does not have this functionality. Would you mind upvoting the UserVoice shared by her and adding your comments there? Doing this will help us prioritize this feature request, and you will keep getting all the related updates.

 

Alternatively, you could try changing the Display Resolution and Scaling under your OS Settings (Windows / macOS) and in Illustrator, as suggested by Mylenium, and check if it helps.

 

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or need assistance. We'd be happy to help.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

I know what you mean: screen is too small. Unfortunately the panel cannot be dragged. Sometimes helps to just hide the control panel, but if you need to do this regularly, that certainly is not an option.

 

I've created a feature request. https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/46169680-make-recolor-artwork-freely-draggable

Without any system info we can't tell you much, but typically this simply means your system does not meet the requirements or there is an issue with UI scaling. Refer to this as a start:
