In [7] and [8] you can see the difference between the CMYK (printing) and RGB (monitor) color space, green and cyan are not as intense in CMYK. This is very important to everybody, who wants to print. There will be a switch to enable a red yellow blue mode, which gives certain colours, that are met in real life often, more space [4].<BR>There will be drag n drop and the widgets should be hideable, resizeable and space efficient.<BR>For KOffice apps, that don't need as much options, as Krita, there will be also be a cut back version as a new colour dialogue. <BR></FONT><FONT face="FreeSans [unknown]"><BR></FONT><FONT face="FreeSans [unknown]"><BR></FONT></P></DIV><DIV id="M2Signature"><DIV><FONT face="FreeSans [unknown]">-- </FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT face="FreeSans [unknown]">Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: </FONT><A href="http://www.opera.com/mail/"><FONT face="FreeSans [unknown]">http://www.opera.com/mail/</FONT></A></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
