Color Picker and Color Input #4

Open SparkyLanders opened 6 years ago

SparkyLanders commented 6 years ago

You have what looks like a typical input box next to the color picker. It does not change the color if you enter a value then tab out, hit enter, or it loses focus. As you can see from the screenshot, I have a colorpicker app I used to gather my main colors from a Chrome theme I made. If I could paste my value in and set the color, this would work faster. Fiddling with the mouse is extremely unprecise compared to using a color value.

Having a way to import palette files could also make the process faster. The colorpicker app I use can save my colors to text, html, and other formats with labels for what that color is for.

This is a good start, and shame on Mozilla for not having an editor already! Few humans enjoy using a text editor to create css! This is the 21st century! Let me click things!

Of course, reading a .crx Chrome file to grab the colors would be heaven!

hello!

first of all, thank you for using my extension and thanks for the suggestion! this project is on hold a little because im super busy and this is the reason im soooo late for my answer!!

you're absolutely right about the colorpicker! its weak for serious work and im sorry about that! unfortunately its not my code so jumping to a desired color would be hard to implement (ive never tried though). i want this feature too but its way beyond my knowledge!

the crx reading capability is a hard no because its impossible... :)

Well, it is rare to not use a field to set colors. I do a lot of image editing for my social media. The field following the gadgets and vice-versa are nearly universal.

I worked for a computer graphics company 19 years. While mice and other things are great, there are many times an expert can key-in values or commands when dead-on accuracy matters.

I know some programming, but these new ways are taking time for me to learn. Still, if you want, I will be happy to look things over occasionally.

i understand your needs and i fully agree with them! but the source code of the current version is a mess and honestly, ive thinking/experimenting of to replace the colorpicker to another one (write one is not on the table for now). so thank you for offering your help but that would be unpractical.

the next version would be better with more options (and with a responsive design ;-)), i can promise that for sure! and of course, i will try to implement your request but if i fail i will contact you, ok? :)
