Yeah, really! Why on Earth using excellent GNOME Colorscheme [1] and the like, if we have all power of Gnumeric in our hands? :-D
Forget that, why not use the full power of Emacs instead!
But seriously what kind of application calls itself a Gnome application and then has a "Favorites" menu. :(
(If he didn't want to use the label bookmarks then palette might have been a more appropriate choice. Anything to avoid having to have different spellings for American and English.)
Good idea though, I'm glad someone gave it a try so there isn't much point suggesting someone do it again as a Summer of Cod project unless someone has some great ideas about how it might be made into an optional plugin for those who want every palette editing feature imaginable.
Does it export GPL palette files? Read the page, it does, nevermind. Be cool if it could also export the XML palettes used by OpenOffice.
Seems like a project that Create or Openoffice or Inkscape could promote as a complementary tool.
