[PATCH] Change of the color of the watermark at the pdfexport

Hi,

there is a new option inside the code of the pdfexport of LO/OOo, which sets a
watermark on the exported document. This watermark is currently red. This is a bit
uggly and I think a light green matches better to LO. So I created a patch with this
color change.

Regards,
Andreas

Beautiful, pushed - congrats, your first code change is in! :)

What would you be interested to work on next? A list of ideas is
here: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Easy_Hacks

Take this just as a comment and not criticism (I congratulate with
Andreas too for his first patch!), but replacing a hard-coded value by
another hard-coded value on the basis that, more or less, "Green is
nicer and it matches the LibreOffice official color" seems a bit weak to
me.

Maybe better check with one of the UX people? Or provide a
UI-configurable choice? I can't help with either at the moment,
unfortunately.

Best regards,
  Andrea.

I did the change because the former color (red) caused problems in reading the
document.
Your point about a configurable color is valuable, but I think that is not an easy
hack. I'll think about a way. Maybe someone is faster then I ;-)

You can't reach the option currently via UI. The pdf-export-dialog doesn't cover the
option "Watermark". It's available only on the command-line via UNO-API.

Andreas

The same applies of course for the default colors of Impress tables,
that were changed recently.
If not via the UI, some xcu file (or sog?) would be at least a start to
make it configurable (for those 'brave' enough to change those files).

This seems a different situation: you can change the color of a table if
the default does not suit your needs, so if you want blue tables
(default in OpenOffice.org) you can perfectly recolor a gray table
(default in LibreOffice) via UI; but, provided I understood Andreas'
remarks correctly, in this case you cannot change the watermark color
via UI or even via command-line, since its value is hardcoded in the
source and cannot be changed by the user.

Regards,
  Andrea.
