A screenshot of KColorChooser (for what it should be like)
reassigned to bh Can this please happen soon, before it is too late to be in OOo 2.0. I personally think this is a necessity. Thankyou Is this in the running for being fixed soon? I think it is a necessity! People who are migrating to OOo from MS Office will find the changeover MUCH worse if they *CANNOT* choose the color they want, rather they have to wander around for ages trying to create a new color. Why can not it be like KColorChooser, or MS Office, or KOffice or *even* Abiword. OpenOffice is the only Office Suite that I know that is using a deprecated and hard to use colour select system! It should definately be updated BEFORE OOo 2.0. So PLEASE update it!!! I completely agree with the comments from 'computerdork'. It is much needed and would be really put the user to some ease in picking the colors he needs. PLEASE -> It would not even take that much work, since it could simply use the colour select tool that I just found in relation to 3D objects. Again, I *must* stress just how important this feature enhancement is. Please include it in OpenOffice.org 2.0. Matthew. The deadline for new features in 2.0 is past us now. Perhaps if not fixed, maybe 2.1. But, look at *Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Colors*, then click on edit. I see the ss above, that I have attached. I think this what you were asking for. But, maybe not, because it was in the same place in 1.1.4. Marking as closed, works for me. If I am wrong, please reopen the issue and explain further. Created attachment 24485 [details]
OOo Color Palette
. Whilst this is almost what I believe is required, it is in the wrong place. It is *difficult* to add new colours, esp. if you only want to use a colour once - instead of a simple dialogue like that opening from a button saying "New Colour" at the bottom of the drop down colour menus, or something like that, you have to go into Options -> Tools -> Colour -> Edit -> Save as a name -> Apply colour. It should be: Drop down colour menu (such as font color) -> New colour -> Apply (no need to specify a name), and then it should record the last 10 or so colours you have used (as well as standard palette). Sorry for my lack of clarity earlier Anything happening here? Kind Regards, Matthew Please, if at all possible, set this to be incorporated in OOo 2.0.1 (probably too late to start thinking about it now), or at least OOo 2.0.2. Kind Regards, Matthew @ computerdork: Please don't change the 'Version' field. It's important that we know in which version you've found your issue. If it hasn't been fixed in any version it will also happen in the newest or 'current' version' Sorry - I thought that it should show the latest version where this issue was found. My mistake. Kind Regards, Matthew Greetings all, With the hype and excitement building up to OOo 2.0, this issue was backbenched, despite its importance in terms of usability. Some of the people I have introduced to OpenOffice.org immediately notice the lack of colour selection - and express annoyance at the fact that they must enter Tools -> Options -> Colors in order to do what an MS Office or Abiword user would have done as a simple custom colour. *Please* add this functionality soon. Kind Regards, Matthew see issue 7373 where on a redesign of the color picker is worked on. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 7373 *** Also, there's no way (at least no obvious way) to create a new color palette. All i can do is add/remove colors from a existing one and open another... I had to make a copy of a color palette file to create a new one... and then i modified it from a text editor because doing it from OOo is a real pain. Hope this gets better, cheers The Issue you raised has been marked as 'Resolved' and not updated within the last 1 year+. I am therefore setting this issue to 'Verified' as the first step towards Closing it. If you feel this is incorrect, please re-open the issue and add any comments. Many thanks, Andrew Cleaning-up and Closing old Issues ~ The Grand Bug Squash, pre v3 ~ http://marketing.openoffice.org/3.0/announcementbeta.html As per previous posting: Verified -> Closed. A Closed Issue is a Happy Issue (TM). Regards, Andrew |
