[Scribus] Improvements to V 1.1.1

[Paul]

Hi,

Not with you on that. I've created a text box, typed something in.
Deselected the box, reselected it (so I can make a universal change)
opened the properties box and said I want the font to be cyan. Worked
fine.

Nope. Not gone at all. On the properties box, click on shape and move it
around that way.

I think there was a plugin which allowed you tonnes of colours.

If that's all you can do, then that's all you can do. As Franz and I
said to quite a lot of people at the show, the reports from users shape
the development path we follow. People were suprised at the extent that
we implement what users want rather than what we want to add!
