About

Goal

This app is supposed to be a small tool for artists and designers. When working inside graphics editing programs I've often catched myself switching back and forth between the editor and google in search of colors and shades. This becomes even messier when, like me, a person has 2 screens with one reserved for the editor and the second one for reference images. This app delivers the possibility to declutter the working space and give all-in-one tool pack just in reach of your mouse cursor.

And so this app comes into play. It allows you to pick color and get the HEX or RGB value of it, see different color shades and create and save custom color palettes, all while this program stays on top of other software so you don't have to switch between windows.

This program also allows you for quick export of the saved color palettes as .jpegs, which then you can load into editor and copy colors from. You can also generate color palette from a image, like drawing or photo or simply another color palette. If you see a color/shade you like, you can also copy it via eyedropper tool, from any website or app or image and get it's HEX value ora dd it to the palette.

color_palette's Issues

Redo / Undo Options

Allow user to redo / undo for actions performed in app to avoid missclicks, frustration and loss of data.

More User Preferences Settings

Currently no ideas for what could be added, it's gonna be put on the backlog for now.

Easy way to copy paste colors between pallets

Currently the user has to click on the color in current color palette (which is then added to the color history) and then switch over to another palette and add the recently selected color from color history to the current new palette.

There should be a way to efficiently and quickly copy colors between palettes.

Possible solutions:

1) A clibpoard tool that could contain colors between palettes, said colors could be then all transferred to another palette with a single click of a button
Downside: requires fair amount of work and might make "color history" panel somewhat obsolete. Also requires additional widget space.

2) Ability to "copy paste" colors, example: copy a color from a palette and paste it into another.
Downside: very slow and frustrating if there are a lot of colors to copy

Color shades not appearing when main color has max saturation

Color shades don't appear when selected color has reached max saturation value of 240.

Color shades not appearing when main color has max saturation

Color shades don't appear when selected color has reached max saturation value of 240.

Export palettes as .txt files

Export color palettes as .txt files that include palette name, color values and name of each color given by the user.

Already done, adding issue for clarity and documentation.

Commit #2637f17

Eyedropper behaving weirdly with 2+ monitor setup

If user has 2 or more monitors active the eyedropper tool is only able to extract color value on the screen the app is active / is focused on, moving mouse cursor to another monitor's area and attempting to copy color under the pointer will not work.

Eyedropper Tool

Allow users to pick and copy any color from any website, app or image on the screen, adding the color to the color palette app.

Improve custom value input in color shade value field

Currently entering a custom value in entrybox of color shades is very error prone and unsafe.

Suggestion:
Create a separate widget that allows users to choose a shader modifier from -99% brightness to +99% brigthness, the value in the middle (0) should be the original color currently selected shade is derived from, the values should be clamped and relative to the main color. Current shade should be marked on the slider on its respective position. Main color should be visible at the default (0% value) position.

The slider should show range as such:
-99% <-- 0 --> +99%
0.01 <--- 1.0 ---> 1.99

With left far end of the slider being maximum darkness and the right far end being maximum brigthness of the current color shade.
