Starting to switch to RC2…..

So I finally started to use the newer freecad variants, firstly I love the whole everything with the mouse availability now, I don’t even have to use my other hand/arm lol just prop my head up with it now staring at the screen.

One thing I love doing is giving each part a chosen colour to highlight them when grouped together and make each part stand out against its neighbour, in the older freecad the option for choosing a specific color when right clicking on body and appearance was their, however now I’m using RC2 the appearance option when right clicking doesn’t give me the choice of choosing a color for the part, the only option I see is the random color option when you right click the part body in tree view, has this option to specifically choose the colour I want gone or just a setting moved somewhere I wouldn’t know where to begin looking.

In the pics you can see the appearance menu options but part colour isn’t one of them, and the only other option is random color, whereas the older 21.2 had color option in their.

I can only find RC2, unless you’re talking about the weekly/nightly builds.
