Why is the colour box not in the toolbar anymore?

Where is the colour box in PE 2022? I never know what colour I've got on anymore, and to choose a colour I have to open the colour swatch and for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the colour chooser up - the only option to bring it up so I can put in a hex code is when I'm typing or making a shape. But if I'm using a brush then I'm stuck with the swatch. 

 

It just seems like a really stupid thing to have removed from the toolbar and I can't find how to fix it and I'm considering asking for a refund so I can buy PE 2021 instead and have my colour box back!

Yes the most recent pse 2022 update fixed the issue of not seeing the color chips in the Tools Panel on

1280 x 800 displays and also included the 14.1 camera raw update.

Also fits 1366x768

Here even with the 1280 x 800 native display resolution on this MacBook Pro, pse 2022 doesn't fit.

 

 

 

Compare that to pse 2021 on the same MacBook Pro.

 

 

 

If on your windows 10 you hide the Taskbar, you should able to get the color chips in the Tools panel, but just barely.

Thank you for this! Definitely nothing to do with my display. PE 2022 has changed the size/spacing of the toolbar.

 

How do I get rid of the task bar?

Right click on the Taskbar, click Taskbar settings, then click on Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode.

What operating system are you using?

 

What screen resolution is your computer running?

 

Are you in the Expert mode as is shown in your provided screenshot?

 

Can you show us a screenshot of what your seeing in your version?

See the system minimal requirements:

You need 1280 x 800 otherwise the bottom of your display is truncated.
