Topic: More colors when creating a new part

Hello alltogether,

i was wondering if / how it is possible to have more colors to choose from when creating a new part.
Unfortunately you only have 13 colors to choose from when creating e.g. a rectangle but when creating a dynamical text you can choose from all colors (see attached screenshots).

I also tried editing the *.elmt directly, but changing filling:cyan

<rect width="425" style="line-style:normal;line-weight:thin;filling:cyan;color:black" x="0" antialias="false" y="-145" height="145"/>

to a html-value like #2A6BB8 did not work. It would be great if all types of objects would have a syntax like the dynamical text and you could change colors with html-values in the source or even via the gui.

Any idea how to achieve it to use more colors in objects like rectangles?

Thank you in advance!
Aaron

Re: More colors when creating a new part

Hi, you can't !
element editor old code is based on static color, initially it was not expected other colors than black and white....

A user tried to add that but I think he gave up ... we are waiting for his patch..
