Color picker
-
Right @Phuket2 but I was referring to how a colour picker should help you be consistent in your picking. So a "recent picks" palette as part of the UI element would be handy. Wondering if Roll Your Own isn't required.

Start of a simple chooser, similar to the built in one above. I got a little sloppy, so you cannot quite get to pure white :). Also a real class would have a done button, delegate callbacks, and a "shield" so it can act modally, but this gives the basic idea.
My intention was to store recently selected colors and display those as well.

@JonB The color picker looks great. It can be potentially used as the UI for customisation of stash color theme. This is something I'd like to support in future developments. It may take a while though as I have other issues to fix first. But I guess most importantly is to have an official 1.6 releas to ensure efforts are not to be wasted ...

@JonB Why not improve upon the existing sample code?
-
folks seemed to want the color box style picker, rather than a triple slider approach.
Another option would be a webview with something like

Colourbox is where you want the choices constrained (eg "recents" or "not too many for you to confidently choose") whereas sliders is a good way of being precise.
I suspect most use cases want the former, but a few want the precision of the latter.
-
Or a tabbed view that delivers both.

Agreed @ccc

@JonB I was thinking of code that I had found a while ago as a normal color picker (one with box style) but it turned out to not be sample code and now forget where I found it!
-
@JonB can we use
objc_utilto get into Pythonista's color picker and present it elsewhere? -
@Webmaster4o I remember the post was Editorial related
-
@lukaskollmer which post?
-
@Webmaster4o I can't find it right now. The class you're looking for is
OMColorPickerViewController
