Hi Fernand, Yes this is also another re-use. OOo is able to display the whole spectrum of colors. Usually you get this dialog when you want to add a new color. http://alexandro.biz/colorpicker.png How hard would it be to have this palette visible to the UI and just add a color chooser feature. This is not hard as is it just taking the hex value of the mouseover. Inkscape does it and so as the rest of the graphic software. http://alexandro.biz/colorgrid.png > Greetz > > Fernand > > > > Regina Henschel wrote: >> >> Hi Alexandro, >> >> Alexandro Colorado schrieb: >>> >>> So I would like to improve the color table, I think the current color >>> table is too poor compared to graphic software like scribus or karbon.
