Hexadecimal and RGB Color Information...

Classic Servoy
1

In the future, when one holds over foreground or background color in the Properties pane can not only the hexadecimal color be representated but the RGB equivalent as well?

In addition, under the foreground or background pull down menu - under the ‘define’ color palet that pops up - there is a tab representing Swatches. Can the Recent Swatches section remember all of the previously used foreground and background colors in the solution? (It’s cool that the foreground or background pull down now does!)

That way there would be an easy method for “remembering” those RGB values.

There are over 50 Swatches to choose from and that would go a long way towards helping one design forms with common intrinsic color values.

Thanks for the consideration!

RGB equivalent

What exactly do you mean by that? decimal notation? can you give an example?

Previously selected hex colors are listed under the Background Color pull down menu. When one mouses over a color, it reads, say, #9999cc, and in RGE its equavlent would be 153, 153, 204.

I want a way to go back to the RGB equivalents of Hex color numbers.

HEX to DEC convertion using a scientific calculator :wink: there is one in WIN XP accessories programs

done you also see the RGB values in decimals. (255,0,255)

Done, as in it’s a part of the program? Or, done, as in I’m done designing/coding on a Mac and need to switch to a PC to get that cool SciFi Calculator? :wink:

You guys are tremendous!

Thanks for all your hard work!

This is really fantastic and makes things go much quicker from the devloper designer perspective… and at the risk of seeming ungrateful for all your hard work… I was wondering if, at some point, the same functionality could be accomplished for the border property as well.

In a future edition, if there is any way that the Recent squares palete under the Swatches tab on the Choose a Color popup could carry the previously set color infomation used throughout a solution, well, this would be a great developer/designer enhancement.

And when selecting an H, S or B color in the HSB color tab or an R, G or B color in the RGB color tab, can, when the developer tabs into the field, it select the entire numerical text?

I realize these are suggestions that can wait for subsequent versions.

Thanks for taking the time to look at these two additional requests.

Kind regards,

JM

Can the Border Property contain RGB and Hex information too when rolling over a previously selected line color?
