------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat May 24 06:36:16 +0000 2008 ------- IDEA: Take out the names from the Area Style/Filling and Line Color tools. Present colours in table form, like in text color selection. Rationale: The colour shown on the screen itself tells me more about it than the name of the colour. Name is redundant. "Turquoise 1" is useless to me. A shade of turquoise on the screen does. Benefits: Save screen estate, dispense with scrolling, easier to FIND and pick colors... even if the palette sorted the colours frustratingly illogically and unintuitively (e.g. why are Yellow and Brown so far from other shades of Yellow? It can be frustrating if you spend hours scrolling from Yellow 1 to Yellow 8 not finding the pure yellow). It will be particularly helpful if colours have been randomly placed all over a custom palette. I repeat: It can be frustrating if you spend hours scrolling from Yellow 1 to Yellow 8 not finding the pure yellow. So don't let the user scroll. Give him a table. Thank you. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
