What's in the popover's overflow menu?

BTW, you accidentally used the HiDPI version for both versions

What's in the popover's overflow menu?

A list that displays HSL, RGB and Hex

Question to other designers:
Do you like the multi-dimentional colorpickers? Not sure what to call them, but I mean stuff like the color picking box seen in this mockup, in KColorChooser and the triangle+wheel you see in Krita.

I personally prefer plain sliders because it's easier to control one dimention at a time, but that might just be because I'm used to Inkscape which has sliders unless you switch to the wheel.

I think it would be better to use a combobox because then people could plainly see that options for different color models are available.

Just an idea for the redesign: Maybe have an optional setting for setting an "Accent Colour" at the top of the list which then sets Focus, Hover Decoration and other colours that are basically an Accent Colour setting but with applicable shades. Optional so that people can easily set it all in one go while other people can still have full control over their colour palette.

Something like this?

@manueljlin yes, that'll work nicely

That looks perfect! Powerful but simple. You're a really good designer, @manueljlin.

Here's a couple of alternate color pickers in case it can be used somewhere else

Thanks :D

Those are pretty slick. What do the overflow menus contain?

A load/save color pallete menu
