Those actions at the top ~ can you do something so you can't see those? I'm using alot of actions and it just bugs me that those are there because I don't have any use for them (but I might at some time so don't want to delete them) Crazy I know but they just bug me :?

Hmmm....funny in my PSCS2 all those you listed are in my "Default Actions" folder which has an arrow next to it so I can close that folder so I don't see all that. Wonder if you have an arrow somewhere, I'm not seeing it in your preview....it looks different then in mine.

There is an arrow in the upper right of the palette but I don't see anything about default actions in the fly out menu :?

If you're never going to use them, you could delete them. I've deleted all of the ones I don't use, no problems.

But if you're worried about doing that, create a new Action Set (the folder icon) then drag those actions in to that. You'll then be able to close them as suggested above. You can also just drag them to the bottom of the palette so the ones you use are on top.

Ok, creating a new action set sounds good ~ but when I open the menu there is that option but it can't be clicked, KWIM

Nevermind - hmm, it has something to do with button mode because when I don't use the button mode I can close those - but I really like the button mode :?

OK - I took care of my first question.

Can anyone explain how to color code my actions?

Glad you got the first one sorted.

Highlight the action you want, then click the actions menu and select Action Options. You should have a colour option in there. You may need to be in the regular action mode (instead of button mode) to do this, I'm not sure.

I don't see that - I tried set options but it only asks for a name

Are those action sets? I think you need to be in the individual actions.

Wow - colour coding sounds like a great idea, I should do that for all those actions that I use most regularly!!
