*** Issue 74992 has been confirmed by votes. *** I would say, as you mentionned, that this would be implemented with styles for charts. @Iha: pls take care of this feature, i also support this idea. *** Issue 4291 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** accpeted Another related issue: issue 67648 Allow different sets of colour and share them with other office/drawing apps such as the Gimp and Inkscape (use a common format, allow defining a common resource directory) Due to draw's many limitations OO.o is often used in conjunction with those specialised bitmap & vector drawing apps. Redefining the same palette in multiple apps is a shore and causes synchronisation problems. The Gimp and Inkscape already use common palettes for this reason. setting target changed summary For a very good reading on color-selection (because I assume if this feature gets implemented, we will also have additional color-styles) see: http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/41732/Expert%20Color%20Choices.pdf See also my comment to issue 7019 (towards the end of the issue). (http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=7019) For other color-sets, see: http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/43519/Chart2_Default%20Colours-EXAMPLES.odt Many thanks and hopefully we will see soon some more colors in Chart. a style for black and white would be also nice, which would then set the pattern inside the chart's sections automatically to white, black, checkered etc. When printing out colored charts black and white, it is hard to see the differences Sorry to say, but this will not make it into OOo 3.0 as feature deadline is tomorrow and the translation relevant UI changes are not ready due to limited resources -> changing target to 3.1. > changing target to 3.1
I had to work recently with MS Office 2007 (I do not have otherwise access to
it), and I must say, it does beat OOo with regard to professional colours (and
actually in many other aspects). Please note that MS Office 2007 is just an
intermediate product, and, IF I understand it correctly, MS will release a new -
significantly changed - office suite in 2009. I do not know IF that version is a
more definitive one (probably not), but OOo is already lagging behind and I have
serious concerns that it won't be able to catch up.
This issue raised some important concerns:
- What colour sets will be used?
- Will they be compatible with other applications?
- How will this be implemented from an UX-point of view?
- Kust coloures? Styles? Surface patterns?
- B/W-checkered styles?
I do not remember any discussion on this topic. Therefore I think it is
advisable to press this issue a little bit harder.
