QGIS Enhancement: Improve the Color Swatches Interface

Version QGIS 3.24

Summary

The Color Swatches interface is inefficient. Only a few color are shown at the same time. Many times the colors don't have a name and a text 'Untitled' is shown.

Proposed Solution

Use smaller squares to show the colors, and display its name when hovering over the swatches. Don't show any name in case it is 'Untitled'.

Example(s)

Mockup of new Color Swatches

Backwards Compatibility

No backward compatibility is required.

Do you still plan on implementing this? It's somewhat late for 3.24 and it seems many would like this change.

I love this idea. If a color swatch has no name, the RGB/hexidecimal value could be used.

Sorry I don't know c++ programming. I just though that the design of color swatches could significantly improve.
