Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 22018
Colorpalettes should have same colors on same places
Last modified: 2009-10-06 12:02:01 UTC
Colorpalettes have the same colors on different places, this works confusing. F.e: in writer: styles>modify>background there are 10 colors on each line, so light-gray is the 9th (one-but-last) color on this line. On the titlebar, the backgroundcolor has 8 colors on each line, so light-gray is the first color on the second bar. This is confusing, because the boxes on this palette are rather small. Please choose for 8 or 10 colors on a line and stick to this through the whole application.

Hi FrederikRetsema thanks for using and supporting OpenOffice... I opened OOo Writer, selected default in the stylist (Page Styles) and chose "modify"... By selecting "Format" -> "Page" I got the same Colorpalettes... I don't see the described behaviour...
Created attachment 11446 [details] Two bitmaps to illustrate the problem
See the zip-file with two bitmaps: first open 1_style.bmp and read the comments, then open 2_font.bmp and read the comments about the place where I expected to be light-gray and where it actually was. I use OpenOffice 1.1.0.
Hi FrederikRetsema, thanks for your response... Now I can see what you meant... I don't think this is a defect but it would be nicer to have the same colorpalette layout for all colorpalettes in Office... I'm going to change this to an enhancement the next days...
utomo > MCI: we can say this is usability defect. meanwhile we also can say it is enhancement. please decide, change status and assign. Thanks

Duplicate of Issue 85895 - Match color palette layout for editing and viewing To manage the many suggestions for enhancing the color palette, I have created a meta-issue here: Issue 105642 - Re-design and UI improvements for color palettes (meta-issue) The purpose of the new issue is for management only, it does not duplicate specific design requests (that we wish to capture). Many thanks, Andrew *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 85895 ***
