Thanks Krisztian Pinter for working on this and it seems to be moving in the right direction, though i noticed a few issues i wanted to bring to your attention, encase you weren't aware of it. 1) major: the popup element only appears downwards, so if you are in a toolbar that appears at the bottom of the screen (eg. table toolbar), then you wont be able to do anything with the popup other than clicking the 'no fill' button. 2) medium: with the palette drop down open, the up and down keys dont work and instead move the cursor in the document. 3) medium: when the popup appears, the color palette color area expands, which causes the recent colors area to be shrunk, which causes the recent colors scrollbar buttons to overlap and the recent colors list to be less visible and less easy to click, as they are about ~10px in height. 4) low: in the color picker, if the color is set to ff or 00 and you click on the vertical color spectrum more than once, it wont refresh the color gradient area. 5) low: i think a scrollbar for the palette color list would be suitable, as presently there isnt any indication that their are more colors in the list than what is currently being seen. And if i select a color at the bottom of the scrolled list, when i reopen the popup, it wont show it selected. 6) lowest: the palette drop down is filled with .soc filenames rather than title case palette names. 4) enhancement: i like the color picker, as it resembles the color picker found in photoshop and it would be great if it would also allowed to grab colors from the document, as a user might want a color found in an inserted image. 6) enhancement: i think it would visually easier to understand if both automatic/no fill and color picker were shown as buttons, rather than appearing as buttons when you mouse over them. i also think that placing the color picker next to automatic/no fill is a good idea as there is alot of empty/wasted space having those buttons take up the full width of the popup, and it also brings more attention to the color picker tool, as i missed it the first time i opened up the drop down. 7) enhancement: with the color picker button moved from its location, that location can be taken up by a text label of the currently selected color, along with its hex equivalent, similar to the old color drop down. Keep up the great work and if you need any more testing/feedback, dont hesitate to contact me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/884751 Title: Changing font colour to custom RGB value is hard Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Fix Released Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: From upstream bug: After many years using LibreOffice/OOo I found out today for the first time how to set font colour to a custom RGB colour.

(In reply to comment #8) This is done by mmeeks work in current releases, for the rest: The description of this bug is still very vague = NEEDINFO Hi Bjorn, Can you explain to me how the report is vague, please? It is difficult to change text to a custom colour which is not already in the LO palette. Also background colours, and everywhere else that colours appear in the user interface. The natural place for a preference like this seems to me to be as a text property in Format-Character (but you are the experts).

I realise this is poorly explained... let me try again. When I get to the colours dialog in the options, my instinct was to hit the Add button to add a new colour. But this creates a new colour from the active colours (which is, by default, Blue 8 with RGB (153,204,255) for me) and fails with a Duplicate entry error. There's then a pop-up which prompts me for a new colour name. I put in Scarlet. I wanted to set it to (61,6,7). So I hit Modify to modify the colour, then set the RGB to (61,6,7), the colour looks OK, and I hit OK to save is. The problem is that this saves Scarlet as (153,204,255), because to save my updated colour, I was supposed to hit Modify. This also applies if I change the colour with the Edit button. I would expect OK to save the colour as it is, and Cancel to revert to the previously saved colour. Hope that's clearer. In any case, happy to see the bug report get attention :) Dave.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 884751] Re: Changing font colour to custom RGB value is hard
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users. ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/884751 Title: Changing font colour to custom RGB value is hard Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Unknown Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: From upstream bug: After many years using LibreOffice/OOo I found out today for the first time how to set font colour to a custom RGB colour. To do this, you need to add a new colour to the palette, via Tools-Options, Colour. Then in that dialog, the workflow is kind of unintuitive. I clicked on the Add button to add a new colour, which was the wrong thing to do - apparently I needed to change the name of the active colour first - then when I clicked Modify, and set the new RGB colour, then clicked OK, the colour wasn't saved - I had to click Modify first. I was expecting to see this in the toolbar in the colour drop-down - perhaps a Custom button at the bottom of drop-down? Or right-click-Modify in the palette colours? Or even in Format-Character. But this definitely seems like a context change, rather than a global setting/option.

Thank you for your suggestion. However, the changes you are requesting aren't really a bug and require more discussion, which should be done on an appropriate mailing list or forum. http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists might be a good start for determining which mailing list to use. ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/884751 Title: Changing font colour to custom RGB value is hard Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Unknown Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: From upstream bug: After many years using LibreOffice/OOo I found out today for the first time how to set font colour to a custom RGB colour.
