Feature request: better color picker #520

Open olmokramer opened 9 years ago

olmokramer commented 9 years ago

Chrome's color picker on at least linux doesn't have an alpha slider:

settings-view-color-picker

The color-picker package, for example, provides a better - and nicer looking :) - color picker. It would be awesome if we could have something like that!

@olmokramer How are you accessing Chrome's color picker from inside Atom?

olmokramer commented 9 years ago

@mnquintana My block-cursor package has a setting of type color. When you click the color box in the package's settings view, it opens Chrome's color picker.

Right now, the package has a separate alpha setting, so that users don't have to change the alpha in their config.cson, but I think this should be possible without the extra setting.

Ah okay I see, Atom opens the system default color picker (which on OS X is actually decent, but on other OSes it's Chrome's color picker). Although, even OS X's color picker doesn't support alpha channels for some reason. I'd be :+1: on bundling a color picker with Atom.
