Re: [libreoffice-design] Scrollbars in popovers

Hi Mirek,

I have added another alternative approach for scrolling in the same page (
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards/Color_Picker).

We can show hovering (or static) scroll buttons in the scrollable area.

I have also suggested two more changes:
1. Making the "Automatic" color to span the width.
2. Highlighting the selected palette.

Thanks,
Manas
