Description sophie 2014-10-27 15:25:07 UTC

Hi, the new color picker has an option in the palette drop down list 'Document colors'. From what I understand it should collect the colors applied to the document (Font or Highlighting). But it remains empty whatever color I apply. 
I'm using Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha1+

To reproduce:
- add some text to writer document
- select a color in the Font color picker and apply it
- do the same for Highlighting
- save the document
- click on Font color icon and select Document colors
==> the list is empty.

Confirming on Windows 7 sp1, 64-bit en-US with

Color selections picked from the custom color picker show a swatch in the recent area. But nothing is being recorded into the "Document colors" palette--either from opening the document or after making color changes to font or highlighting (and would guess with the area fill when that is converted).

Also, when moving away from the color tools, and then returning--the Recent color swatches have been cleared.  Since they're not yet on the "Document colors" details of any custom color picked is lost.

What I understood was that this list of colors wasn’t a collection of colors you’ve applied (that’s the purpose of “Recent”), but “Document colors” is actually meant to display the colors in a document’s theme (if you create a doc in recent versions of Word, it will have a color theme.) Of course, we still don’t support creating documents with color themes. See also http://blogs.igalia.com/jaragunde/2014/05/28/tales-of-libreoffice-interoperability-font-and-paragraph-colors/
