Go back to 2004, and there were complaints from some people that the palettes for OOo didn't contain enough colours. Those complaints were what prompted me to create the colour palette at https://app.box.com/s/9552x6yjgcdlhbaf356vgmbd21k4oe9p. The second most common complaint I've received about that palette, is that the colours are not named. The most common complaint is the obvious one. ##### The size of the palette is not an issue, _if_ the colours are consistently ordered by hue ,chroma, and lightness. When colours are randomly ordered, such as by RGB value, or alphabetically, the palette becomes, at best, awkward to use. > Should we limit the number of palettes, Ship with one palette, but have additional palettes available for installation as an extension. ZD_Color_Palettes.oxt being an existing, albeit somewhat dysfunctional example. >have also a manageable size in terms of <50 colors (this is a very arbitrary number), postulate elaborated color names? Personally, I think that the minimum size should be 128 colours. One might be able to get away with a 64 colour palette, if alternative palettes are _easy_ for non-technical people to install. Both ooespalette.1.1.oxt and ZD_Color_Palettes.oxt throw an error, when attempting to install their *.soc files using the extension. For non-techies, this is a fail. ##### One other item to be considered, is that switching palettes from within LibO usually requires the program to be restarted. (My normal practice is to close LibO, copy the palette I want to standard.soc, then start LibO.) jonathon -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: design+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
