[libreoffice-users] Something is Missing in Calc

There is this cool cell background shading in Microsoft Excel that I
can't find in LibreOffice Calc.  That feature is an *ink-saver!* Calc's
cell backgrounds are just colours and that's it.  There are no hatches
and if one wanted to indicate a blanked cell (by conditional formatting)
he/she has to make due with colours rather than line-stroke hatches.  A
greyed cell uses more ink.

I can mimick this feature with cross-out borders ... but that's borders
and that's crude and nothing like hatches.  Does anyone understand what
I'm trying to describe here?  Is this a known issue?  Can someone point
me to a solution ... if one exists?

Thanks in advance
