Description Ariel Constenla-Haile 2007-09-07 11:09:29 UTC 
It will be useful, when performing custom painting, to have an API just like
java.awt.SystemColor
<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/SystemColor.html> to get the
colors the operative system (and OOo) is actually using.

Maybe it won't be too much work to implement it, as OOo internally use some code
that works just like java.awt.SystemColor fields, so a
com.sun.star.awt.SystemColor will be easy to get from:

GetSettings().GetStyleSettings().GetWindowColor()
GetSettings().GetStyleSettings().GetHighlightColor()
GetSettings().GetStyleSettings().GetHighlightTextColor()
GetSettings().GetStyleSettings().GetFaceColor()
GetSettings().GetStyleSettings().GetLightColor(
GetSettings().GetStyleSettings().GetShadowColor()
Comment 1 jsc 2007-09-07 11:58:08 UTC 
first of all that is no P1 issue

i agree that color management/handling in OO.org should be improved. But that is
a general enhancement. If you want to use this via API, you can of course do it
in your own code. Or you can create your own API to wrap this functionality.

I will forward this issue to somebody from the user experience team.

jsc -> cj: i know that you have some graphic background and maybe you have an
opinion to this enhancement. Feel free to forward it to the right developer.

cd: Grab this feature request. It's also an internal requirement for an improved
toolkit API.
