Hi,

This may sound a bit silly but is there a way to change the default pop-up location of the color picker palette? Whenever you need to choose a color the resulting palette is always revealed at its default location in the upper left corner of the C4D layout. Its more comfortable if it pops up closer to the location from where it was invoked especially if you've got a big dual screen setup and have to mouse "half a mile" over to the palette, way on the left side of your screen each time. Its no big deal but in can get tedious in the long run.

Any ideas?

The color picker dialog is dependent on which OS you are.
In your case it's Windows and you can't change that AFAIK.
You can change Cinema's own color picker dialog to make it more comfortable.
Menu>Edit>Prefrences>Units
In the color picker area choose "Enhanced Color Picker" from both dropdowns
and check on quick storage.
These options are also temporarly available with a click on the little
drop down arrow under the color field.
