Description A (Andy) 2014-11-22 09:56:59 UTC
I like this new colour selector already very much.  But could it also be possible to add it to the standard formatting dialogue boxes?

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open WRITER

2. 
Go to FORMAT -> CHARACTER -> tab FONT EFFECTS -> FONT COLOUR
Go to FORMAT -> CHARACTER -> tab BACKGROUND
Go to FORMAT -> PARAGRAPH -> tab AREA


Result: In all these places it is not possible to access the new colour selector.


Reproduced with LO 4.4.0.0.beta1, Win 8.1.

Yup, needs UX-Advise agreement, but enhancement should probably be done as the color picker conversions continue.

Setting New.

Hi Andy,

Stuart mentioned this recommendation in bug 84267 comment 7 saying, "It would be a very useful enhancement to configure the new color picker GUI to open and manipulate the color values across all tabs of the Area dialog."

Thank you very much for your fast replies and comments.

Hi all,

Me too like the new color dialog.
However, the current drop downs have an advantage to: navigating with key board is fast and easy. down, page down, and the start letter of a color all work.
So when that can be included, I'm all for the idea.

What do others think about that?

Unfortunately i dont see the drop down being very fast or easy as the colors are not sorted by alphabet or gradient and there are way to many colors (167+) to choose from.

This issue has been fixed for most places. Remaining dialogs are handled in bug 105225.
