--- Comment #1 from Greg <[email protected]> --- Sorry to Brain dump but I'm between meetings: a) The colour panel should be less prescriptive about the background colour. The key comparison is the target context. Since most pages are white, irrespective of theme, the default for the panel should be white. Perhaps a middle or right click on a colour square on the panel could change the background to that colour. Or a dropper icon in the corner could be used to pick a colour from anywhere on screen? b) Colour palettes are a great idea, and dealt with in a Neanderthal way in Writer. I don't want to have to research, to find the appropriate config file, edit it and save it as a new palette. I want a 'new' palette button/context menu on the panel to open a dialogue with the ability to choose between setting one colour and auto-generating one of the various algorithmic palettes from that (complementary, triadic, tetradic, etc) vs setting a bunch of colours manually vs importing a set sent as a YAML or JSON string in a file. Then name it and press save (+ copy to clipboard, if you need to share it) c) The border round a colour chip can muddy the water. Allow users to pick the panel's background colour (matching their context) and show the chips, borderless. If the user is using a border on the target, They can pick that from the specific border colour picker, in the same way I just know I'm going to get told off for this but I needed to get it off my chest before my next meeting Mea culpa Time for my next meeting -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
