I'm not sure I know what I see in this attachment.
Do you show the color toolbar _inside_ the painting area ?
Can you right-click in the MENU area and see if the color toolbar checkbox
is checked ?

Screenshot of menubar select.
Comment 3 Martin Koller 2017-10-26 17:09:47 UTC
Since I do not see the checkmark in the context menu beside the colors toolbar, it seems it is hidden. However I have deactivated the ability to hide it at some point in time, which is seen also in your screenshot as the entry is greyed out.
So I assume you once used an older version of kolourpaint, hid the color toolbar, upgraded, now it's still hidden but greyed out so you can't show it.
I suggest to find the config file of kolourpaint, which should have the name kolourpaintrc somewhere below your $HOME, and then remove the file and then restart kolourpaint.

I never hid the Kolour bar. Ever.

Comment 5 Martin Koller 2017-10-26 18:04:59 UTC
can you still try to remove the rc file and see if anything changes, please?
Comment 6 Raymond L Kornele 2017-10-26 18:07:45 UTC
That was the first thing I tried. Thought restarting KP would restore
the proper file. No help.

Then back to my first question:
Do you show the color toolbar _inside_ the painting area ?

No. Nowhere. It doesn't appear anywhere.

At what size do you use the kolourpaint main window ?
Can you enlarge it and if so does the toolbar show up ?

Full screen is the same. I shrunk it to make a smaller attachment.
Probabli a module lost. I removed and re-installed KP. No change.

Then I'm sorry, I have no idea what happens on your system.
Since the color toolbar is an integral part of KP, it isn't something you
can miss.
And if I understand you correctly, you are using the old KDE4 based version, which is no longer maintained. The current version is 17.08.2

OK. I have work-arounds.
