  • Moving your thumb over the colored circle will update the hexadecimal text, you can also enter a code and it will give you the color by pressing enter on the keyboard, if the code is incorrect the text will be deleted and only the hint will remain like this: #RRGGBB

  • You have to add the copy and confirm buttons to assets so that they appear in the dialog, size: 24px x 24px, (the size doesn't matter, it will be set in that proportion, but so that it is not heavy, use 24px).

    • Rename your icons like this:
      • copy.png
      • confirm.png

There is no thumb for now.

Could it be bigger? That is, the colour circle to fit the width of the device in portrait (height in landscape).
Or sizeable ?

I don't know if it's possible but it might be useful to just be able to display it in a layout. Also, a little more customization such as sizes, fonts... would not be refused!
However, this extension remains very useful!

Thank you for this contribution to the community which helps many users,

It looks better, but it still needs to adjust properly when rotating the screen horizontally, but I've run out of time on the computer.

Are you referring to button sizes?
And regarding fonts, are you referring to adding text to the dialog box?

About adding it to a layout, I'd thought about that, but I was unsure whether to do it or not.

  • I will make it usable in an arrangement.

I was talking about the size of many of the dialog components. I was also talking about the font used in the hex code text box.
And thanks for thinking about putting it in a layout!

Finally I found an extension for color picking which actually works how I want it to :slight_smile:
