To apply colors to warp and weft, click the mouse into the warp or weft color bars. Color bars lie in the strip between threading or treadling draft and the band of tick marks that indicate thread thickness. |

Apply a band of color in one stroke by click and dragging across a group of threads in the warp or weft color bars. If a thread becomes double wide when you click, it's because you clicked in the thread thickness bar above the warp color bar. Double click in the thickness bar to shrink thread width back to normal. |

Choosing the working colors from the Color Palette
The color palette floats off to the side of the main design window. Two larger squares at the top indicate the working colors that the mouse is currently set to apply. The left square is the main color, and the right square is the alternative color. The available colors appear as two or more columns of smaller color patches underneath the main color and alternative color.
Apply main color with a single click into warp or weft color bars. Apply alternative color with with a double click* into warp or weft color bars. Choose the main color by single click in the color patch that you want to use. Choose the alternative color by double click* in the desired color patch. * You can use Option-single click instead of double clicking, or if you have a two button mouse, you can use single right click. |

To apply more colors to the warp, simply click into the color palet to select a new main color, then click into the warp color bar where you want the color to appear. Repeat as many times as desired. Follow exactly the same steps to color threads in the weft color bar. Remember: the main color square and alternative indicate the working colors; you don't need to click into these squares to apply the colors in warp and weft color bars. |
