There would be a simple workaround for this problem... There have just to be the ability toset spotcolours in scribus on an litttle different way. Setting a spotcolour as a pain extr5a-colour which generates an extra colour-channel too. What name you give these colur/channel is in your own decision. The preview or better the screen-view of these spotcolour has to be set by the user itself with hsb, rgb or cmyk parameters. But remeber, these previes is just for the screenview, there hast to be just one channel for everey spotcolour which will be defined by the user. So you get an extra colour-channel additional to the standard 4 process colours. I think this would solve the probleme, because you can use whatever colour you would like to. Jens
