Hello everyone, I thought I would pull a Bulia and drop some features. When doing web design and pre-layout, I found it annoying that I could'nt get the hex value of colors, so I added a "Copy as Hex" button when using the eye dropper to get a color value. This way, one can quickly paste that into whatever web page they are working on...In the meantime I did a few other tasks. There are a few things still necessary to be done, but I wanted to report as I can't spend anymore time on it right now...I need to make some money...
Made controls for Eye Dropper available on the auxiliary toolbar.
* Added entry boxes for hex values of last selected color and opacity.
* Added "Copy as RGBA" button that copies last selected color as RGBA value to the clipboard
* Added "Copy as HEX" button that copies the last selected color as a HEX value (useful for web work where hex values are needed)
* Added toggle switch option to select current color as visible on screen without alpha. When not toggled, then the current color and opacity as represented with alpha becomes the stored desktop value.
* Removed the aforementioend option from the application preferences menu, as it is now available via the dropper auxiliary toolbar.
What still needs to be done:
1.) I made an icon for the toggled value for Picking a color, I think called "pick_color" in icons.svg. I couldn't come up with a good one, so maybe someone could come up with a better icon to replace the crappy one I did for the toggle button.
2.) I need to fix HEX values that are copied when the option to pick color with alpha is selected. I know how to fix, but just don't have time right now to do...it is a simple thing...but I'm slow right now.
3.) I'm sure there are some things I missed since I did this quickly. Please email/fix/post bugs about...
Thanks,
Jon
