I’d like to see a more intuitive color picker that comes with more (and especially Cwicly related) options.
If being considered, I’m happy to elaborate what I would find useful - feature and UI/UX wise.
I personally dislike everything about the current default one.
With the new role editor, maybe this is the right time to address this topic or at least start a discussion about it.
Great timing.
Yes, the colour picker isn’t well suited for an improved workflow, and is somehow not intuitive.
I think we had this discussion earlier in the year and the colour picker definitely needs a custom made solution.
As you say, the role editor gives us the possibility to have a specifically catered colour picker for Cwicly while giving users the choice between the native Gutenberg implementation or the Cwicly one.
I’d love to hear your ideas/suggestions for the new colour picker!
I gues I am not a fan of the fact that you need to click on the edit button in order to paste a color Hex code.
I know it allow you to clik on the code and copy it but I find myself more in the situation where I want to paste the color.
I actually takes 2 cliks, first on the circle with the color, then on the Show details input.
It would be handy to be able to edit the hex value color in the field directly, in this case we can select it copy or paste one and if we need to have a visual input, then we can open the color picker.
So I guess it is an opinion for a step just before the color picker.
I think this shouldn’t be a point @anon32808828.
I find this an excellent idea, I also noted it on my list.
Will I use it? I don’t know. Currently I’m using Windows PowerToys for color picking.
But 3rd party tools shouldn’t play a single role when it comes down to core functionality.
of course we can @anon32808828
(which means it should be a possibility)
but that some extra work
as we are asked for improvement, I thought I should put it out there.
I found myslef often, willing to use the color picker in the page, outside of its borders.
It took a while to get used to vs. a standard colour wheel, but I love that you can use one base colour and create a second that is the exact hue/saturation but just a bit lighter.
Correct.
We decided to go with the EyeDropper API - Web APIs | MDN since other options would add constraints somewhere else…
While the support is somewhat limited, it is a native solution that I find perfect in every way (although non-Chromium users don’t get the benefit).
