I created a datatype "MyColors" from the "Approved Color" datatype, assigned some hex color values to it (prevalues) e.g. FFFFFF, 000000 and saved it. I created a property of type "MyColors" and saved and I just get the following just wondering what may be the issue here?
I have experienced the same thing, but havent had the chance to test it on a site without gecko uploadify. What i discovered is, that gecko creates a root folder on the site called "~" and since umbraco looks in ~/umbraco/images for the grapic spacing out the colors on the color picker it suddenly cant find the image... hence the collpased divs with no colors.
As Claushingebjerg mentioned, it's filling the div with an empty img via ~/umbraco/images/nada.gif - but Fiddler reports it actually looking for /umbraco/~/umbraco/images/nada.gif which results in a 404. I guess it's not handling the ~ properly
@Kevon, no what i meant was i have only used the color picker on sites where i had already installed gecko... And gecko has a bug which actually creates the ~directory...
as a workaround i actually made a copy of /umbraco/images and copied it to the ~ directory. And hey presto, it works. Im sure its not the right way to go, but it solves this problem...

Have you installed Gecko Uploadify?

No, are you saying to utilize an OOB Umbraco Datatype I must install a community package?
It looks like a bug as far as I can tell

I just checked on a clean Umbraco 4.5.2 install and it acts the same way. Definately a bug.

And it's already been reported in this issue on codeplex. Vote for it here: http://umbraco.codeplex.com/workitem/28810
