System performance is not affected, when 50K colours are in the palette. It is affected when things akin to _The Ultimate Colour Palette_, whose URL I posted the other day, are installed. (If you really want to use that as for your daily work, I hope you have about 1 TB of RAM reserved for LibO.) Once there are more than around 200 colours in the palette, the major issue is finding the specific colour. How the palette is organized can make the difference between finding the colour, and not finding it. The three major ways of organizing the palette are: * By RGB or CYMK value; * By name in English, or other language; * By placement in the rainbow; Sorting by RGB, CYMK or name is fairly simple. Sorting by placement in the rainbow is painstakingly time-consuming. For various reasons, most people seem to want the palettes to be be organized that way. jonathon * English - detected * English * English <javascript:void(0);> -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] 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
