LO - Calc multiple selected sheet (CURRENT STYLE and SUGGESTION STYLE)

Need to higlight page tab when multiple select sheets.

1. open calc
2. add 3 more sheets
3. press and hold SHIFT and click Sheet1 then Sheet3 (to select Sheet1,Sheet2,Sheet3) 

The color of selected sheets changed BUT hard to see the diffrent between selected and not selected sheets

Reasonable--could not find that we already have an option to set the selected tab(s) other than white.

Setting new... but, make the addition to the Tools -> LibreOffice -> Appearance -> Spreadsheet section as a "Sheet tabs" element with color setting and preview.

We have multiple requests for better visibility of multiple selected sheets. 
Other bugs and this one were marked as a dupe of Bug 57822, probably just because it's earlier. But that bug is messy so that's not correct and I rearrange. 

Let this bug be about addition to the Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> Application Colors -> Spreadsheet section: "Sheet tabs" elements (title, background, multiselect title, multiselect backrground) with color setting and preview.

Would make it a dup of 104564, and in general it's the best to use the system colors rather than options. But the overall opinion seems to be thumbs-up.
Comment 7 Thomas Lendo 2019-09-11 19:31:03 UTC 
Is this still a relevant issue to have a color setting in the options dialog?

I think this issue is not necessary any more since the commits for bug 124572 "tabs in calc (for sheets) and draw (for layer) style" introduced with LibreOffice 6.3 because the grey small bar at the bottom of each sheet tab shows what's selected. Seems not worth to give that small bar a customized color.
