Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Re: [tdf-discuss] LO 3.3 RC 2 - Colour for insert columns and rows in Writer

I really hate blue and green is fairly awful.  I do quite like yellow, red, any 
other earthy or fiery colours

Tom :)

I'd propose to chose what had been in OOo - although it is not "100%
color safe" green and blue are industrial (and defined) standards that
already convey positive/negative actions.

Christophe, would you mind to add this information to the tools list in
the wiki (somebody was so kind to transfer from OOo to LibO)? Within
OOo, I've already added the "Colorblind Web Page Filter". And if you
know something for Linux as well ... would be great (as well *g*).

Cheers,
Christoph

PS: See you at the FOSDEM :-) Cool!
