problems with converting colours from CMYK to RGB in indesign

Hi! 

I've been struggling for the last 2h with changing the colours in my indesign document from CMYK to RGB. Nothing works.  I've tried marking RGB instead of CMYK in edit ---> transparency blend space and it's not working. Here are my profiles set in "convert to a profile" (it's in polish but I hope you can recognize it by the layout).

 Do you know any other settings were CMYK may be still checked?

Also, you can convert all of the document’s native Swatches and Colors to RGB by choosing Add Unnamed Colors from the Swatches panel flyout menu, select all of the panel’s swatches, choose Swatch Options, and set the Color Type to Process and the Color Mode to RGB:

What Rob says is valid. You can also try the Document Setup drop-down menu.

    InDesign allows you to mix objects with different color spaces in the same document—there’s no single document color mode. You can convert all the document color into a single RGB color space on Export to PDF by setting an RGB Destination in the Export Output tab.
