Re: [libreoffice-users] meager color options

Hi :)
Doesn't matter how old some of those things are.  Sun tried to minimise on
development in order to keep the product more stable.  LibreOffice develops
fast.

So i think a lot of these long-running issues are likely to get dealt with
unless they are simply forgotten.  So bumping such requests that are over 3
years old might grab some devs attention.  I wonder if this one would be an
"Easy Hack"?
Regards from
Tom :)
