 * The new version doesn’t work with check boxes, you can’t see which ones are checked
   or not. I created an issue on Github and added a screenshot there.
    A quick way
   to check is by looking at screen options, but it makes life pretty difficult 
   in the customizer and on settings pages of plugins that use checkboxes (autoptimize
   for example).

 * Yes, I was just coming to report this as well. Digging into the files that get
   generated, in _admin.scss there is the following code:
 * input[type=checkbox]:checked::before {
    content: url(“data:image/svg+xml;utf8,%
   3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%
   2020%2020%27%3E%3Cpath%20d%3D%27M14.83%204.89l1.34.94-5.81%208.38H9.02L5.78%209.67l1.34-
   1.25%202.57%202.4z%27%20fill%3D%27#{url-friendly-colour($form-checked)}%27%2F%
   3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E”); }
 * Comparing this to the old developer version from GitHub I’ve been using on previous
   sites, that same section of code in the _admin.scss is:
 * input[type=checkbox]:checked:before {
    color: $form-checked; }
 * If I replace the longer version above with this shorter version, then the checkboxes
   are visible in the Dashboard again.
 * I don’t write plugins and my php knowledge is shaky at best, so I can’t tell 
   where or how this new version is being generated – but hopefully this gives the
   devs enough info to fix this.

 * Oh, and you also have to get the plugin to regenerate things once you’ve made
   that change. After you change that bit of the code and saved it in _admin.css,
   then go back to the plugin, change one of the colors, and save it. This seems
   to rewrite whatever is screwing up the checkboxes.

 * Hello – I’ve had this trouble too. I was able to get the ‘ticks’ to show by simply
   uploading the /admin-color-schemer/ folder found in /wp-uploads/ from an older
   version of the plugin (v1.0.) Then regenerate the colors and you should be good.

 * The same happened to me and replaces the admin.scss file as artsgirl mentioned
   above, following the path:
 * wp-content/uploads/admin-color-schemer/_admin.scss
 * Thank you for your help!

 * Thank you all for getting this figured out and posting your results! It’s looking
   like this plugin might not be maintained that such a simple and known fix hasn’t
   been implemented in over 7 months :/ Sad, this is really such a great little 
   tool too! But anyways, thanks for figuring this out!
