Description Peter Sampson 2017-11-06 09:35:32 UTC
As per title and steps.

This may not even be worth fixing - the underlying issue as the the colorway selection has no bearing on the displayed color in Spectrogram view.

The command does work though - and works as intended, just invisibly.

The reason for wanting it fixed is that users could try using this in Spectrogram view, be a bit surprised that it has no effect - but maybe much more surprised when they switch back to a waveform view only to be puzzled why the colorway has changed

Actually in 2.2.1 alpha (but we don't have that in the dropdown yet)
