Capitanos Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 Hello!Is there any way to change the standard palette from grey to another. Or Is it possible to choose a specific color as default in each new document??? Quote
GarryP Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 The in-built Help gives you lots of information about palettes. Start by looking at “Panels / Swatches Panel”. Quote

I can create palettes as default for colour spaces and they are there with newly created documents, BUT they are NOT the SELECTED ones when you open a document. So you always go to the swatches dropdown to select "your" palette. Maybe one of the devs provide us with the information how to change the Application.xml for those entries: <SwatchListMode>True</SwatchListMode> <SelectedPaletteType>3</SelectedPaletteType> <SwatchCellWidth>0</SwatchCellWidth> <SelectedPaletteName>PANTONE+ CMYK Coated</SelectedPaletteName> Quote ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed

walt.farrell Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 You can create an Application palette in the Swatches panel, and give it an appropriate name, and fill in some colors. Then you can make it the default for a particular color space (RGB/8, CMYK/8, etc.). Then when you create a new document in that color space, or (I think) Open a document in that color space, your application palette will be the one selected by default.

No. I even reset the latest beta. Make a new document or open an old document with the default palette it will always end up with the Greyscale palette being selected.

But I do seem to have misinterpreted the behavior of the current 1.8.3 beta for Designer. There it is actually remembering the last palette I used, regardless of the document color space.

catlover Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 Capitano's question has been asked a long time ago and was posted as a feature request, if I remember correctly. I ( sort of ) resolved the problem by adding some much used colors to the grey palette. They are colors I use most when starting up a drawing to differetiate between the various objects if they're very close together. Quote

The question now is, does it work, and if not has Serif accepted it as a bug?
