Minor:
Is it the background color or the highlight color?
It is highlight color. Both
Open Office Writer and Microsoft Word use
this term to define the action of changing the background color of the
selected text. Open Office has in fact both: background color
affects
the entire line not just the selected text as it happens with
highlight
color; and you can apply both at the same time: highlight color has
priority.
Background is definitely way more precise than highlight to me.
Highlight means to... highlight. There are lots of ways to highlight
something: you could underline it (so it could the underline color),
it could be the text color (this is what is used daily by everyone
when they write on paper and want to highlight some word), you could
draw a square around the text, and apparently in OO's case it's about
changing the background color...
If highlight is the correct one then maybe the
key name should be
changed too? At the very least I think a comment would be necessary
since someone reading this line will not know who's right... the key
or the value... Highlight is a term that refers to me as a foreground
color.
IMO background color is more generic (or vague) than highlight color
Anyway if they do it.... let's hope they
thought this out and I'm the
only one who dislike "highlight color" :)
I'm not a big fan myself but apparently, as Silvia pointed out, this
term is well understood among those using rich text editors.
Now I see that CKEditor is still using "Background color". Guillaume, WDYT?

so
I don't think there is a contradiction between these terms (although
for
Open Office they have different meanings). That's why I didn't change
the key. I could do it but then I guess I should also update the
class,
method, field or variable names to reflect this changed, which is a
pain. Also, the feature is call backcolor so I should change it too
and
then the documentation. The reason for the tooltip change was just to
make it more specific.
Thanks,
Marius
