The bullets and numbering in Presentation can not be changed with other attributes like color or shadow. 1.Create a new Presentation; 2.Input some words in the text edit box; 3.Add bullet to these words; 4.Change the color of these words; Result:The color of the bullets and munbering are not changed.
Reassigned.
The numbering get the shadow of the text but I have no possibility to assign a shadow to a bullet or a graphic. In my mind this is an enhancement and not a defect. you can change the color of a bullet in 'Custom' in the Bullets and Numbering dialog.
Created attachment 43591 [details] this is the patch file
Patch is provided. Consequently, type should be patch. Please consider integration
Changed the owner, as issue type has been changed to patch.
cl->tl: please check if this is a valid patch
Because other issues currently at hand and easter on the edge it will probably about 2 weeks before I have time to test the patch though.
TL->LiuTao: The patch does not work as expected. There a two problems: 1) I asked cgu and was told that the intended problem to fix was that the bullet color should have the same color as the text if the bullets color is set to 'automatic'. This does still not work with the patch. 2) By removing the lines : if ( pFmt->GetNumberingType() == SVX_NUM_CHAR_SPECIAL ) : { : aBulletFont = *pFmt->GetBulletFont(); : } : else The font for customized bullet characters is lost. Depending on the character chosen this may lead to have an incorrect visual for the bullet. Note the bullet character and font can be customized in the tab-page named "Customize" by pressing the box next to the "Character" text below the "Relative size" box.
cl: I personally do not consider this a bug. Maybe its a user experience issue as some users expect a bullet color to change when they change the text color. Currently the bullet description also contains the font of the bullet character (that is needed since the font for the bullet is almost always different to the font of the paragraph) and it contains the color of the bullet. So the issue is that the color of the bullet must be changed within the dialog to configure the bullet, not in the characters dialog where you change the color for the characters. One fix could be that if the user changes the color of the whole paragraph, the color of the bullet is also changed. But in that case the bullet needs to be made a hard formating of the paragraph, else all other texts that also use this bullets from the same style will change the bullet color. This is also not what a user would expect. I currently see this issue as 'works for me' until someone has a very bright idea how to make this easier for the user. Just replacing the bullet font with the paragraph font is NOT a solution. Changing issue type from patch to enhancement
Considered to be an enhancement thus passing on to 'requirements'.
