------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Sep 26 21:36:26 -0700 2006 ------- Each of the toolbar items "Font Color", "Highlighting" and "Background Color" employ a pop-up color picker. While the toolbar items show the current status (either the last-used color or the color at the cursor), the pop-up color picker does not. It would be helpful if the picker would also indicate which color was active, the same as shown in the toolbar item. Rationale: Let's say I have set the background color of a paragraph to a light gray, but on further reflection, the color is a little too dark; I want to set it to the next lighter shade. I click on the "Background Color" item in the toolbar and the color picker pops up. Which swatch is the right one? I have to remember the color name I last picked, or I have to guess based on comparing the display of the current paragraph to the small swatch in the picker--a difficult task for similar colors. If the picker indicated the current color, as the full Format > Paragraph > Background dialog does, it would be trivially easy to pick the next lighter shade. Supporting enhancement: Add the current color name to the tooltips for these items. Instead of "Background Color", the tooltip would read "Background Color: Gray 20%". This would make it easy to accurately determine the current setting. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
