Description ossiejhmoore 2007-06-15 17:05:33 UTC
Motivation for Enhancement:

The background color, while great for viewing on-screen, make a diagram printed to standard black and white printers
almost useless. To resolve this, I set the background color to RGB value FEFFFF (you can not set background to FFFFFF
but FEFFFF is nearly white so it works). The problem is I loose the nice color settings for working on-screen.

Proposed Solution:

Option 1: The color preference should contain a collection of values for each setting rather than a single value. For
example, the Class diagram widget should allow me to specify one color for "OnScreen" and another for "Printing".

Option 2: Allow "Profiles" for color setting configurations. (And perhaps for configuration settings as a whole.) This
would actually be a great feature for the entire preferences volume of information. For my particular problem, I would
start with the "Default" configuration, alter the background colors for the widgets and save the configuration as a
"Printing" configuration.
