Re: [QGIS-Developer] Broken 'randomness' for new layer styles?

Hi guys, having default colors is really nice, great to see some work there. But aren't we in a feature freeze period.? I plead for the great "release often" mantra that we tend to forget these times. 4 months between two releases is fairly short most users can live without perfect random colors.

In this case I'd say: go for it, and have fun! Thanks a lot. Il 3 febbraio 2018 22:19:57 WET, Nyall Dawson ha scritto: >On 3 February 2018 at 19:17, Richard Duivenvoorde >wrote: >> On 03-02-18 05:17, Nyall Dawson wrote: >>> Coincidentally, Mathieu

[QGIS-Developer] Broken 'randomness' for new layer styles?

Somebody (Raymond ;-) ) 'complained' to me that running a processing algorithm everytime comes up with an (ugly) brown style. While (I think) the styling of a newly added/created vector layer should be more or less random..., what I see is that the colors (at least here with me) often start with
