I have a drawing done with certain colors which I don't usually give names (bad habit?). At the moment when I create a new Xara object I sample the color from an existing object with the eyedropper to match or I assign a new color.
I was hoping to have my colors that already used placed down in the default palette at the bottom of the screen which I rarely use because I mostly start from an existing design or a photo which obviously doesn't match the default palette.
If it's a photo, the solution posted above by Egg 2nd video is exactly what I want. Great.
However as I mentioned earlier, If my design is made only of Xara objects, I can't use this solution but, as you described earlier, I can go to the names palette and the "Used colors" group has them all there so that's great. I can pick them from there.
Can I add these used colors now to the bottom palette which is more convenient so that I don't have to have the names palette open? How?
Also, how can I get rid of the starting default bottom palette altogether which I never use, except for maybe shades of gray and have there only my colors?
Then If I create new colors, how can I put them in there as I go?
Sorry, maybe I'm too picky?
