Sublime text 3 - ColorHighlighter not working "live"

I have successfully installed package ColorHighlighter in Sublime text 3, but for some reason it is not working automatically.

For example, if I edit new or existing CSS file and add:

.someclass {
    color: red
}

Nothing will happen. I have to go to Tools - ColorHighlighter - Highlight all style - Outlined in order to changes take effect.

Next if I continue adding the next property, I will have to go few times to Tools - ColorHighlighter and change settings few times to apply new effects.

I'm using Windows 7, Sublime 3. Imagemagick is installed. If is of any help, I have tried this on Mac and its the same.

Maybe Im doing something wrong?

P.S. I have tried to uninstall and install package few times. No difference.

You'll need to edit the ColorHighlighter settings to get it to work properly, especially if your ImageMagick directory isn't in your PATH. Select Preferences -> Package Settings -> ColorHighlighter -> Settings-User and add the following:

{
    "enabled": true,
    "style": "filled",
    "icons": true,
    "ha_style": "filled",
    "ha_icons": true,
    "default_keybindings": true,
    // change this path to your actual path to convert.exe
    "convert_util_path" : "C:/Program Files/ImageMagick/bin/convert.exe"
}

making sure you have the correct path to ImageMagick's convert.exe. Save the file, and the settings should take effect. They'll look like this:

It may take a little bit of time before newly-added colors are added, so just be patient - it'll work.
