Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 55351
Replace bothering color listbox with a color table control
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:41:15 UTC
THe configuration dialog for default chart colors has a nice widget with small thumbs for the supported colors - easy to see them all, one click to select. On the other hand, when I try to edit the colors of the chart, there is a combobox instead of that nice widget, and selecting a color is a chore - I have to click it to open, then to scroll to where the necessary color is (and it's hard to know which direction to scroll), and only then can I click on it. In short, same widget from the Chart color configuration should be used in Chart properties dialog.
reassign
This bothering colorlistbox is an element of an Office wide used Line Tabpage. As it is a global control this cannot be fixed for the chart only. But I would like to recommend this request. I also find the color listbox to be very unhandy and have wasted a lot of time there scrolling. IHA->CJ: Could you please consider to replace the colorlistbox with a colortable that shows more of the colors at the same time for all the global Office controls. Thanks a lot.
Retargeted to OOo Later, changed owner
