Ability to pick a colour from an external window/app
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Just like KDE and GTK colour pickers. This would be a fine convenience for a pure Qt environment. (In fact, it would be better to have this integrated with qtconfig-qt4.)
Thanks for your interest and feedback.
I personally do not plan to add this feature for some reasons: 1) at the time it was meant to be a quick project with only the key features needed 2) I don't know any simple way to add this without being hackish 3) the project was not meant to be used in an image editor but more in tools requiring simple color management, like a text editor, ...
On the other hand, I would be more than happy to integrate some changes you could have in mind :-)
Finally, what do you mean by "it would be better to have this integrated with qtconfig-qt4"?
Oh and by the way, sorry for the awful reaction time...
No problem. What I was trying to say is this:
In a pure Qt enviroment like Ubuntu minimal + Fluxbox the only means of changing themes/colours etc. is the app qtconfig, but it has very minimal colour management; one cannot simply pick a colour from any part of the screen or any window as one can do in KDE or even with Opera or Geany both of which have this functionality built-in.
With qtconfig, instead, one needs first to find out the hex numbers of that particular (desired) colour and then to enter those numbers in qtconfig.
Anyway, thanks for your interest and response.
Ok, I wasn't aware of that :-)
But as I said, I am not using this component(s) at the moment, so I won't add this feature, and I probably won't do it ever.
However, I would be glad to add it using another developer's pull request!
Bye!
