I copied the standard.soc--jan-19--10_26am---2525-color-blocks.txt to the same location and renamed it standard.soc. It's in html file. I guess I should get to the question now. What am I supposed to do with that file? The new one should be renamed to standard.soc. Then restart LO. The .xml and .html files are actually text files, but they have controlling tags withing them to make them usable as .html and .xml files to other packages. This is the same with many program coded files.

Alex I am working out the bug in color issues. I have been given feed back about color duplicates and colors not working correctly. I have printed these out and will work on the information in them. I did not go through all of the 2525 color lines, and many of those lines were given to me, as is, like the Crayola colors. Some duplicates may be in color sequences, so they need to stay. Some are not and can be removed. Some non-working colors will be fixed or removed [as the case with the colors I was given]. Some of the colors only have a hex code for their names, since those colors are a sequence of color shading and did not have names assigned to them. I feel that just calling them things like red hue 15 shading 3 would not be any good, since it would be a made up name. Yes, all of the names have been made up, but I will not create names for these colors, like rosemary pink or coral sea foam green. How paint companies come up with these color names is a mystery to me. Of course, some say there are too many colors to choose from. Some would like more colors. I was thinking about looking into more colors and their shading towards white. The red hues need to be found and the shadings. Maybe some of the named colors could be placed in hue order instead of alphabetical order. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: having 2525 defined colors to choose from within LO
Some colors may have different names, depending on language and geographic regions. Some colors have different spellings, depending on the language used. Also, the real problem is that some color names are defined differently by regions or who you get the color list from. I have seen Aqua a little darker than Cyan, cyan being one of the primary printer ink colors and the name of aqua is not. So they are not interchangeable in some applications and my need different acceptable names for different applications. I have seen Gray spelled both ways, but gray is what I use since my American English spell checking in Thunderbird tells me grey is misspelled. Other languages may use grey instead of the other spelling.
