Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15427
Easier manipulation of slide backgrounds
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:21:02 UTC
The previous report I filed (no 15333) was only partly answered. When altering the background of a slide by right clicking then following "slide" -> "Page setup" You can select from colours, bitmaps, gradients and hatching etc. Would it be possible to include the same level of flexability for slide backgrounds as are available for shapes? i.e. custom manipulation of gradient settings and colours, importing of bitmaps. I know that gradients can be edited by other options and custom ones created but it is a rather cumbersome workaround instead of being able to do it there and then. Cheers, Paul
Reassigned to Bettina.
The defining of the fill attributes happenes at just one spot (Format/Area dialog) for objects and the page. Assingning is possible via two dialogs (Format/Area and Page Setup (menu and context menu)). Defining of fill should also be possible at each spot, where it can be assigned to enable fluent work. Currently it is missing in the contextmenu of the page (page setup), in the conetxtmenu of objects it possible (area). The tabpages for defining the fill (color, bitmap, gradient, hatching) should be added to the pae setup dialog.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
