Hi Johnny, Johnny Rosenberg schrieb am 01-Jan-19 um 22:58: Sorry for bothering everyone again, but I can't find how to add colours to the background colour palette.

The general rule is, that adding colors happens at that place, where the color is used. Only very few dialogs are not yet changed. It depends on the version, which dialog is already adapted. The new dialog version for cell styles is not in version 6.0.7 or 6.1.4, but version 6.3 has it. I'm not sure about version 6.2. When ever you have a situation, where the new dialog is not yet available, you can take a different object, which already has the new dialog, to add your custom color, e.g. a shape. Draw a shape, use its area property, add your color, delete the shape, for example.

We have some places where the new palette handling is still missing [1]. Actually the task was way too hard for a GSoC student and we have some minor regressions.

I have tested a littel bit. Don't use Calc so often. I haven't found a possibility to give a name to the added colors any more. Seems it could only be modified in the palette-definition of the source code.
