Priority: medium
Bug ID: 73891
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: UI color panel does not show the actual color
Severity: major
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.1.3.2 release
Component: UI
Product: LibreOffice
In LO40 and earlier, the Font Color, Background Color and Highlight Color
panels (in all components) identified the actual color by a small frame.
Although awkward, this feature helped if one wanted to apply the same color for
a different object. Since the new color panel with more colors, introduced in
LO41, there is no such functionality and there is now way how to find out,
which color does an object have. Thus one cannot apply the same color to a
different piece of text, object etc. I find this to be very annoying.
Moreover, functionality of these icons is different in different LO components.
If I set font color in Calc, the icon keeps the color even if I click on text
with different color. This a good feature and can be used to recolor multiple
pieces of text. In Writer or Impress, when clicking on text with different
color, the actual color of the icon updates. So, when I want to use the same
color for different pieces of text, I have to remember coordinates of the color
in the panel.
I normally use in presentation just two colors - black and some highlight
color. Even in this simple case the panel does not help me in setting the right
color. What I (and maybe others too) would love to see, is a color panel, which
shows a list of colors used in the document. This would remove all my problems
with setting the color.
