Is there a means to set the color picker's palette from within a template?
No, there isn't.
I'm trying to implement a house style which specifies a restricted
palette. This would involve adding a few colors and removing a whole
lot more. I know how to drive Tools->Options->Colors but this seems to
set my personal palette so all my documents pick up the modified palette
rather than just those involving the house style template. I'm looking
for the same effect but only for those documents launched from this
template.
Colors initially come from e.g.
C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.3\presets\config\standard.soc
If you add your won colors, the whole bunch comes from
C:\Documents and Settings\<name>\Application
Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\config\standard.soc
(Whith the current config management, that means that colors added to a
new version of OOo (e.g. 2.4.0) won't be automatically added to your
palette, because the user-directory is taken from the previous version,
and the standard.soc in there overrules the one from the program files
tree.)
A little reflection on your goal: My experience and approach with house
style projects is to make it easy / attractive for people to use the
standards, and not to (try to) prevent them doing something else.
First, this is (program-wise) in general easier. Second, it's
culture-wise better IMO. Also if people want to do something different,
in the end they'll nearly always find a way to do it...
Making it easy can be done by offering special toolbars for the desired
styles etcetera.
Regards,
Cor
