Allow Color Input Without Picker #143

Closed LinuxinaBit closed 3 months ago

LinuxinaBit commented 3 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Related to #72 but mostly a failure on my end (that I am currently unable to solve) as no Flatpak color pickers work on my system even with xdg-desktop-portal-gnome installed. I use Budgie on Solus, and Door Knocker says only the Global Shortcuts portal is unavailable, with Screen Cast having some implementation issues. Enough with that, it's a largely unrelated issue.

Describe the solution you'd like Currently all I am able to do is see this and show an error popup: image I would like to be able to just manually enter hex values, whether through GTK's color picker thing, or just a text box for a hex value, so I can use the other functions of this app, like palette creation.

Describe alternatives you've considered I would obviously like to un-break color picker functionality on my end, but I believe this might be a good feature to have even if it isn't broken.

Thanks for the suggestion, as a workaround you can currently use CTRL+R to get a random color and then change its values. There's currently no other input method planned for the placeholder screen, this may change if there's a better design.
