Just a two proposals: 1. Can we try adding two boxes like this [x] to the left of this widget. One for removing stroke and another one for removing fill. It will unclutter RMB menu (which, by the way, isn't consistant with fill/stroke dialog - menu says "Remove stroke", but dialog says "No Paint")
You can just middle-click the swatch to remove fill/stroke.
Hmmm.... I've been using this great app since .40 version, but have never thought it is possible acheiving it this way?! Great for this feature exists, but I really think it would be much more obvious doing color discarding like I've described. Just my thoughts. Corel does it in similar fashion, but somehow different, Illustrator isn't worth mentioning at this particular topic. As of Freehand, I have no clue what's their way of dealing with it.
Anyway, inconsistancy stays... ;)
2. Make width of field, where stroke thickness is presented,always have at least 5-6 numerical places. It's somehow unnerving, that shrinking and extanding of field...
Why should it be unnerving? Most of the time people use standard widths - 1, 2, etc. so for them it would be a waste of space and an annoyance to always see 1.0000, 2.0000 etc.
Not like that. I've ment something more like:
Fill: [alphaFFFFFFF|FFFFFFFFFFFF] Stroke: [alphaSSSS|SSSSSSSS]___1.0
I'll attach mockup. Even I can't understand my own writing. :)
3. This one is related to your second intervention. It would bemuch better IMHO to code RMB click to act like LMB + "Take from selection" (from preferences). This way we economize mouse clicks and speed up working.
Yes, a right-click menu to that swatch would be a good thing, both to make it easier to switch the mode, and to help users to understand what this thing is for.
I've told you. Just kidding. Great new feature, indeed...
