Configuration-->Bikes-->Pick Color: rgb values not intuitive #57

Open calvertcruz opened 15 years ago

calvertcruz commented 15 years ago

Choosing a color for any of the bikes isn't an option at all. For example, choosing yellow on the color wheel gives the description rgb (255, 255, 255) in the 'choose color' inputbox. But anywhere else in the software the color does not appear. It is simply white.

While this is a powerful option, it clearly isn't intuitive. I am not sure what ability we have to change that screen, but two things we can try are:

1) Change the title bar from "pick..." to "Click a color on the triangle or wheel and then click OK" (or something less verbose.)

2) After someone has successfully used the "pick color" button, it is more important that they see a sample [square] of the color more so than the rgb values.

Something else I noticed, you can't click on the circle around the triangle to get colors, you have to click on the triangle itself.

Can we add instructions to this widget?
