I noticed that the font colour chooser allows you to use custom colours but not add them to the palette. While usable, it's not a good solution when you are going to be using the same colours repeatedly. If you, as single user, need a color repeatedly, then you can add this color to your personal palette "Custom". It is not a real palette, but part of your personal registrymodifications.xcu. This file holds the recent colors too. But a normal user does not need to know these details. After more googling, I eventually found a way of adding custom colours - by creating a shape then right-clicking on it and selecting area. This allows me to add colours to the custom palette (and apparently only the custom palette - even if I select a different palette, the new colour ends up in custom). If you want to maintain "corporate identity" colors, storing them in "custom" is wrong anyway. So do not try to find any "tricks". You should use a *.soc file stored in share/palette for those colors. You can add the colors to one of the existing files or make a totally new such file. The file is a simple xml-file and can be edit with any editor. You only need to add one line per color following the example Instead of "Black" you write the text, which the user will see. Instead of 00 you write the code, which you see in the 'Hex' field in the Area > Color dialog. If you work in Draw you can use Format > Area without any need of a shape. That way each user, who will use LibreOffice will get these special colors automatically. You need writing rights from the OS to change or add files in share/palette. Kind regards Regina I'm frankly dumbfounded by your explanations. You remove a generally useful dialogue to reduce complexity for normal users while simultaneously maintaining two different dialogues to set colours, each of which looks and works differently. Then you suggest that to do something that is in the use case of any normal organizational user (i.e. just about anyone who uses a word processor), you suggest creating/modifying XML files! I agree that storing organizational (not necessarily corporate) colours in "custom" may not always be the best idea, but given their small number in any rational organization, creating a separate palette for them is arguably also not a good idea. My preference is to just add them to the standard palette and let the colour names identify them. You've already got all the code you need to address the problem properly. Writer's code just isn't organized properly. If it was, you wouldn't have the two (maybe more - I haven't really looked) dialogues doing largely the same job but neither doing it really well. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+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/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

It is still read from there, even though no UI exists to generate such file there. Kind regards Regina That is what I do, mostly. I now prefer to have many smaller dedicated palettes instead of a few large ones. The need for a company-wide palette is a great idea for a specific SOC file. This is the hidden folder within Ubuntu is where I place for the color palettes I created. "/home/timothy/.config/libreoffice/4/user/config" I know where the system files for LibreOffice, including the .soc files, are located, but it is easier to place my color.soc files in the hidden ".config" folder instead of editing a system folder like this "root level" directory/folder “/opt/libreoffice5.3/share/palette” I would rather edit the ".config/libreoffice/" folder over editing the "/opt/" one 9 times out to 10 easily. I have made a few palettes and place them on my "libreoffice-na.us" page. Here is an edited version of one so you do not have to wade through several pages of color text definitions. I used a palette's SOC file as a template for my versions. There may be an extended "ooo:color-table" script, but this XML works fine. The only thing I have found is that using a text editor, or even Writer, Ubuntu seems not to associate the resulting "color-palette.soc" file as a "xml" file. These created palettes work fine, since the start and ending lines are "xml" script identifiers. http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink; xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg; xmlns:ooo="http://openoffice.org/2004/office;> This edited color palette actually have over 70 orange colors and hues.
