In the last release the setting file may have become corrupted, if you
tried to save a color change in preferences or make a customised swatch in
the color picker.

In the preferences window the colors would turn black on relog, this has
been fixed in this release but this may cause problems still, the easiest
way to fix this is to logout and delete the settings.xml file in the
C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Application
Data\SecondLife\user_settings directory or do a complete uninstall and
reinstall.

Mac users, we haven't forgotten you! To zap your preferences go to ~/Library/Application Support and delete the SecondLife folder.

Also an important tip from residents Sue and Alliez!

The App. Data folder is hidden by default in most Windows installations.
