Ok, this isn't exactly a foobar-related problem, but since I found it first in Foobar I'll post it here anyways.

Basically, the standard Windows color picker dialog box refuses to allow more than two characters for any of the color values. If I pick a color using the sliders it'll go all the way to 255 like it should, but I cannot manually input anything past 2 chars. Does anyone else have this problem? Any developers/users know of what might be causing this problem? I'm not even sure where to start. In the meantime, it's made configuring foobar a gigantic pain in the ass..

I guess if nobody answered by now that means they are as clueless about your problem as I am. Did you install some new software/OS updates before this stopped working?

IIRC this has something to do with the theme you are using (or maybe the font size), try changing the theme back to luna and see if it helps.

If you've installed XPize, uninstall it.

doh, I actually figured it was something like that. Thanks for the heads-up!

Could you please explain how you fixed it in a more detailed manner?
I've been suffering from this problem for a few days, too.

Ok, if you're using XPize, you need to run the uninstaller and revert back to the MS Dlg shell pointer back to MS sans serif. Apparently one of the things it does is change it to Tahoma, but that breaks the color dialog for some reason.

Thanks, that solves it.

I didn't use XPize, but manually changed the font substitutes in the registry, to change the font in a specific application from MS Sans Serif to Tahoma. This however broke the colour picker window.

There's an article by Microsoft with background information.
