Petar Petrenko Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 Hi, what I want to achieve is to remove all three palettes ("colors", "grays" and "gradients") from all three apps and create a new one which will contain only global colors. I could remove all of them only in Designer. In Photo and Publisher I was able to remove only "gradients" palette. Why? Now, back to Designer. I created a new application palette and renamed it to "global colors". I chose "add global color" from burger menu, created the color, clicked on "add" and Designer created a new palette named "document" and put the global color there, instead in mine "global colors". Why? Also, the button "add the current color to palette as a global color" is active only with "document" palette, not with mine "global colors". Why? Please, name the colors with their color values "C5 M5 Y0, K0), not with "Global color 1" or such.

Wosven Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 The fact that the first global colour you add to a document create a new palette in this document, even when you just created one for this purpose, and there's already a document's palette, is a bug, and annoying. Global colours can only exist at the document level, not application level. Quote

Joachim_L Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 I also kicked out the default as they are useless to me. Then I defined my personal palette with global colours, exported it for safety reasons. Finally I assigned my palette as standard for CMYK inside the application. Now every time I create a new CMYK document my personal palette is loaded. Problem solved for me.

Joachim_L Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 No, have your personal palette selected, then use the options menu of the Swatches palette and pick "Set as Default for + the wanted colour space".

I remember maybe two years back trying to set up something similar and just giving up, I only noticed the "set as default for" option being available since moving to 1.8 - been using this ever since and it works a treat - Shame this only works for new documents though Feel free to use my attached palettes: delete those useless application palettes and replace them with proper greyscales and CMYK - theres also my process globals which is my default new CMYK document palate - really does save a lot of faff - note: the first black in my CMYK palette is my preferred Rich Black (20,20,20,100) the rest are K and percentages of K - The same Rich Black is the last colour in the process globals 5 hours ago, Petar Petrenko said: Please, name the colors with their color values "C5 M5 Y0, K0), not with "Global color 1" or such.
