Colour choices in Conditional Formatting
Last modified: 2014-09-21 20:31:15 UTC
Hi, Choosing colours for conditional cell-formats is uncomfortable, as long as the colour drop-down does not indicate directly the currently chosen colour. For the background-colour you chose to indicate the current setting in a separate square field beside the drop-down, text-colours are immediately applied to a sample-text, below the drop-down, if there is one in a selected cell, otherwise no indication is given. I am convinced, that changing the colour on the drop-down itself from black or white to the chosen colour is more ergonomic.
Created attachment 281086 [details] A screen-shot with a conditional red text-color The screen-shot shows the drop-down indicating black, while the example text is red. An example text may not always be available and thus, no indication about the conditional text-colour is given.
Created attachment 281108 [details] my dialog I am unable to duplicate your screenshot: When I select a font colour the colour of the text changes but so does the colour of the square in the selector. Which exact version of Gnumeric and which version of gtk3 are you using?
Yes, your screen-shot documents what I would expect, too. My Gtk3 version and Gnumeric are installed from the Debian resources: libgtk-3-common 3.12.2-1 Gnumeric 1.12.17-1 Thanks anyway for your response. Michael
Just for the record, this works fine for me and I am using libgtk-3-bin 3.8.7~1+petra and Gnumeric from current git.
This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report. This was another gtk+ abi break.
