The whole LibO's colour management needs a rewrite, I think that everyone agrees with that. IMHO, without a proper way to select AND define colours, the "already possible" solution is the only possible answer... we can talk for hours on end about how difficult/deep/whatever the options are, but I think we need to discuss first of all about the colour palette: only then we will be able to discuss how to use those colours. For a "live preview" I think it is enough (1) to extend the "Apply" button we see on style management since 3.4 to the Option dialogue. (1) In the mathematical sense of the word: I have no idea how difficult it is to add the Apply button there, but I'm sure it is enough to solve the problem, so it is a "Sufficient condition"... :) -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] 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
