Alexandro-- You can change the color palette to one of several already in OOo or modify an existing palette and rename it (like MyPalette). The palette you chose in Draw will be used by the other OOo components, like the Writer text editor. Palette swapping is available in both 2.4x and 3.0. Start up OpenOffice.org Draw (the Area dialogue is only available in Draw). Format menu/ Area dialogue/ Colors tab/ Open button. Select a new palette and click the Open button. The default palette is called Standard. You can browse other palettes, also ending with the .soc extension. The palette web.soc is huge with 247 colors and cmyk.soc has 216 colors. Others are html.soc, gallery.soc, palette_en-US.soc, sun-color.soc, and web.soc. However, I prefer to add around 25 useful (mostly very light or very intense) colors to the standard.soc. Before editing an existing palette file, I recommend copying it to another name (standard.soc to standardorig.soc) so you have a fall-back to the original. Also, back up any palettes you create. Upgrading OOo will bring along your palettes with other settings. Editing the current palette can be done from any of the component programs. Tools menu/ Options dialogue/ OpenOffice.org menu/ Colors dialogue/ Edit button.
