Hello,

I have noticed now that there are more colour options for a page background, but not for general objects? Is this a reg setting I have wrong/can change, or still a limitation?

I'm not sure what you're seeing different here, but sure there is no hidden function or extras. In 2.1 (and earlier) you are limited to 66 custom colours but heard this was being revamped for version 3

Hi Bertie,

See attached image, see there is 2x palette's. The larger one is the one that I have accessed from the page properties, whereas the smaller one is the one accessed via 'View/Palette'.

I haven't been able to work out how to add more colours to the basic shape objects (squares/circles etc.)

Ah. There I can help

On the "Floating Palette" when you "Click" the left-hand coloured square at the top it opens up the full colour palette. Same for the Line and Pattern box.

Another tip while you're here... when you're on any pattern or object with fore colour and fill colour, if you LEFT click the floating palatte it sets the fore/line colour but if you RIGHT click it sets the background/fill colour ! A little quirky but is in the Help and quick to use once you know

Regards,
Bertie.

again This is what I have been looking for also, I had resorted to using a rectangle & frame object.

Looks like I owe you a pint or 2....
