Wosven Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 When in a sub-colour panel I select a swatch, and want to use a tint of this swatch: The displayed panel is this one: That's not logical, I just selected a swatch, so the tint panel should be this one automatically: At least, instead of default panel display, the app could remember witch sub colour item (Tint,Saturation...) I used last time, to not have to select it each time I use a swatch and want to use a Tint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted June 9, 2020 Staff Share Posted June 9, 2020 Hi @Wosven, can you attach a screen recording of your workflow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 Sorry, I'm not on my usual desktop PC, so I'll try to avoid screen recording and such... When in a "sub-colour panel", as when adding a colour to a text frame background: when you wan to use a define colour like a Pantone, you click on the Swatch tab ("Échantillons" in my screen shot), if you want to use a tint of this Pantone, you'll click next on the "Colour" tab ("Couleur"). By default, The colour tab show "Tint" (but not the one where you can choose a percentage, the one for choosing a different colour, as in my screen shot). It would be logical, since in most work in Publisher we use global colours, and/or Pantone colours, that just after selecting a swatch, opening the tab "colour" would display the "Tint percentage" instead of "Tint new colour" (I didn't check the UK/US names for those tabs, but in French the 2 are called "tint" (teinte)). It's adding a lot of extra clicks and searching in dropdown lists each time you want to colour something. (I'm not fond of those sub-[colour-tint-etc.] panels that add extra steps when the main ones would be the logical ones to use, effective on the selected items). Sometimes, it make things harder, since you have to go back to the main panel to add a new swatch, for example). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
