	=== ~~Custom Palette~~ ===		=== Swatches ===
			Still needed:
	~~For fill colors~~ and ~~gradients there needs to be be a 'custom~~		*Per-Document swatch palettes (see below)
	~~palette', so that the user can~~ "~~bookmark~~" ~~particular colors or gradients~~		*"None" and "Unset" swatches at the beginning of every palette. (effectively permanent swatches as they'd be there in empty palettes too)
	~~for future use~~. ~~Twelve small buttons should~~ be ~~added~~ in ~~the Color paint~~		*Gradient Swatches.
	~~area of the Object Style Dialog, and should show up to twelve custom~~		*Pattern Swatches.
	~~colors/gradients~~. ~~When~~ a ~~button is clicked, the~~ color ~~or gradient~~		*Indication of selected object already having a swatch color assigned (such as an inverted outline). Should show both the fill and stroke.
	~~settings in other widgets should be changed to match~~. ~~There should also~~		*Right-click menu with various options.
	~~be a straightforward way for users to add/remove/change items in~~ the
	~~color palette~~.		=== Per-Document Swatch Palette ===

	=== Palette ~~Files~~ ===		We need to explore the options for how to store per-document swatches in a SVG compliant manner. Currently it seems like storing these in the defs section would be the optimal method.

	~~Each document has its own custom palette, which is initially blank.~~		Per-Document Swatches need to:
	~~The user can load or save palettes~~ to ~~palette files, in standard formats~~		*Collect colors currently in document (either automatically or manually invoked).
	~~consistent with other graphics software.~~		*Allows the addition of swatches to the palette without them being used in the document.
			*Allow importing and exporting from/to external palette files or other documents.
	~~A global palette.svg file should be installed with Sodipodi, that provides~~ the ~~default palette settings~~ for a ~~blank document~~. ~~This can include colors as well as any gradients listed~~ in the ~~global gradients.svg file (see~~ the ~~Object Style Gradients task)~~. ~~We must build a reasonably complete palette (e.g. all named HTML~~ colors~~), along with the most common gradients~~ (~~e.g. black-to-white, black-to-transparent, white-to-transparent, both vertical and horizontal~~).
			=== New Swatch File Format ===
	~~Optionally,~~ the ~~user can have a palette.svg file in their home~~
	~~~/.sodipodi directory. If present, this will be loaded instead~~ of the
	~~global default file, overriding it. This file may refer to gradients~~ in
	~~both~~ the ~~global gradients.svg file, as well as a gradients~~.~~svg file in~~
	~~the user's ~~~/.~~sodipodi directory.~~

	~~(suggestion: possibility to import .acf (Ascii Colour File?)~~ and .~~bcf (Binary Colour File?) from Macromedia Freehand - .acf~~, ~~since is a .txt based file~~ (~~each colour channel is 16bit, meaning 48bit for RGB~~ and ~~64bit for CMYK~~)~~, seems to be an open format since it's~~ a ~~.txt )~~		A more robust and flexible format for swatches is necessary. Currently we use the Gimp's swatch format, but we (and others) will should look into collaborating on a more flexible and standardized format moving forward.
	~~(importing .acf~~ and .bcf can be really useful when colour norm companies patented their colour standards (which makes difficult Inkscape distributing these ones), and lots of vectorial apps users are still hugely dependant of these colour norms)

	~~example of Macromedia Freehand .acf palette file~~ (~~converted from Unix rgb~~.~~txt):~~		The format needs to support various color profiles (RGB, CMYK, LaB, etc).
	~~http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin~~/~~wiki~~.~~pl?UnixRgbAcf~~		Additionally it needs to support flat colors, gradients, patterns, and alpha/transparency on everything as well.

	(question: how far Inkscape (as open-source app) can use known pallete norms, like Pantone, Focoltone, Toyo, Munsell, etc., since some of these are patented, as well copyrighted? - this question has meaning when lots of vectorial-editor users uses intensively these palette norms)
	(note: contacting personally each colour norm companies is more than welcome, even expecting negative feedback as i got from Trumatch, which said it's patented and copyrighted, and they licenceed to software systems - my proposal: with artists and engineers help, how about us making an open-source project for a colour norm, regreting print and display, and trying to make it the most popular (even on offset printers, and inkjet/laser printer manufacturers!) colour norm than ever?)

	If the ~~current palette has one or more undefined entries, then when~~		(question: is this actually accurate? is it really halfway implemented as-is?)
	~~one selects~~ colors ~~with~~ the dropper, then ~~they are automatically added~~
	to ~~the~~ palette~~, unless the user is holding the 'ctrl' key~~.		(suggestion: The color dropper toolbar is pretty bare-bones and it seems like it could have 6 or so "history swatches" of the recent colors the dropper has picked up. These could then be dragged and dropped to a swatch palette or anywhere else colors can be dragged and dropped to. -ScislaC)

	~~=== Color Defaults Indicator ===~~

	~~In [[The_Gimp]], there is an indicator showing the current foreground and~~
	~~background colors. If the user clicks on them, color selectors pop up~~
	~~to allow making different selections.~~

	~~Sodipodi needs an analogous mechanism, but it should include current~~
	~~fill and stroke color settings.~~

	It would be really nice if we could use the same color palette format as [[The_Gimp]]. I know that it ruins the nice XML/SVG consitency thing - but it means we get lots of palettes for free and potentially a website could have one palette that they use across all tools. --Ted
