bbwd Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Is it possible to show Pantone Colours in a list view as you can in Illustrator? This is how I have to set in Illustrator and would like to be able to get Designer to show it the same way instead of just a swathe of tiny coloured squares. It is very difficult to find a specific colour in Designer - I have tried the 'Find' box but it appears to only find colours already in the document. I'm using a Mac if that makes any difference.

MikeW Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 My assumption is the Mac has the same capability as the PC: bbwd and Patrick Connor 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbwd Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Thanks MikeW. I've seen that before and the list view has never stuck so I assumed that it wasn't what it appeared to be - but actually is. After posting, I realised I only asked half the question. Again in Illustrator, I have Pantone Colours (in list view ) in a floating palette of it's own so I can permanently see them. Is this possible in Designer?

MikeW Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Sure. Just grab the Swatches panel with the left-mouse button on its title bar and drag it out of the Studio. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps post the same question in the iPad section so people who do happen to have the device and frequent there more than here will see the question?

The iPad apps do have a swatches/list view toggle, but as far as I’m aware there’s no way to make any of the Studio panels float.
