Re: [libreoffice-design] "LibreColour" palettes for LibreOffice

Hi Mike,

I forward your message to the ML. As you may know we will have better user
palette management in 5.3. Meaning you can add colors in the area style
dialog to the newly introduced 'custom palette'. The former palette
management at Tools > Options > Color has been removed. Also document
colors will work now.
Saying that it doesn't contradicts any of your comments.

Cheers,
Heiko
