Hi Michael,
Thanks, and thanks for coming! Always good to see you, and some good
platform questions too :)
So I'm playing with it (Impress) now to make sure I'm not talking rubbish,
here's the flow of events:
- I press the bullet/numbering icon and choose bullet points
- Enter a couple of lines
- Highlight all text, right-click, choose 'Text' - No colour here, this
seems the most obvious place to put it to me.
- Also nothing in the 'Font' or 'Style' sub-menus
- Also nothing in the 'Character' dialog
- Finally find the 'Style' dialog, which has *14* tabs, many of which are
named in such a way as to imply I could change the colour
- Find 'Font Effects' after cycling through a few tabs (is colour an
'effect'?)
- Choose 'red'
- Font colour is now red, bullets remain black.
There are a few things to address here I think, though perhaps I'm just
being dense/tainted by using other software. I would expect the bullets to
be part of my selection, and to change colour accordingly.
I'd also expect it to be a bit easier to find where to change the colour.
Failing both of those, I'd expect the app to perhaps guide me towards using
styles if that's what it wants me to do, rather than (what appears like)
hiding what I'm looking for.
All this aside, I do actually use it whenever I quickly want to make a
presentation, so it isn't all bad ;) I hope this is constructive enough to
help.
Cheers,
--Chris

Hi there,
I was talking with Chris at a presentation, and he was struggling
with
impress to change the text color of a bullet.
Chris - for me I get that in the right-click context menu:
'Character'
-> 'Font effects' tab at the top.
On the other hand - playing with this it struck me that although
the
selection guides the action of that context menu - if you select a whole
line, and then right click over a mis-spelled word (usu. a technical
term): you only the spelling correction menu.
Is that the interaction bug you fell over Chris ? I assume we
should
not be offering the correction context menu if we have a selection - to
make it possible to right-click change the color eg. of a single
technical word ? :-)
Then again - right-clicking on a mis-spelled word first selects
that
word, so ...
It'd be great to have more input on your problem Chris - and nice
talk
about Firefox / Android :-)
All the best,
Michael.
