[0.99.6-1.deb] Color file-picker

[ghost]

The color file-picker icon which is proposed in the font custom color panel has no effect, at least in linux/KDE.
Then maybe better remove it until problem identified ? (...not a key feature).

See: #896 its not yet implemented

It does not look obvious at all that #896 has something related to a color-picker feature, but if you mean the root cause is the same, it's fine, we'll see.
Let's say... to be confirmed.

Ah right sorry, didnt realize what you meant. I would guess they have the same root cause of not being implemented as part of the whole theme stuff yet

The screenshot is really helpful. This color-picker feature exists only on KDE systems, on XFCE/linux or windows there is no such button.
So far, I could manage to find something about the issue on kubuntu forum. I don't see any options to turn it off or fix it.

If it can help later, this is the message I get:

(cherrytree:6457): Gtk-WARNING **: 
Attempting to add a widget with type gtkmm__GtkColorChooserDialog to a gtkmm__GtkApplicationWindow,
but asa GtkBin subclass a gtkmm__GtkApplicationWindow can only contain one widget at a time; 
it already contains a widget of type gtkmm__GtkVBox
[GTK Logger] [warning] This object, of type gtkmm__GtkColorChooserDialog, already has a wrapper.
You should use wrap() instead of a constructor.

Just in case it can help later on.
Minor issue.

Yeah, I took a look at other warnings in console, the important one is
the GVariant format string '(u)' has a type of '(u)' but the given value has a type of '((u))'

Actually, GIMP uses controls similar to Gtk and had the same issue and the fix for it.

There is the same problematic place g_variant_get (retval, "(u)", &color); in Gtk code.
So, if you take this data and create an issue on https://gitlab.gnome.org, then it can be easily fixed by them.

Hummm... in fact I've never used gnome, and don't use gimp at all.
I am not sure to be very welcomed @ gitlab.gnome.org as a KDE user.
From my point of view, this is minor, it was just a warning in case of potential interest.
I even don't know what this color-picker is supposed to open, and totally don't understand how this icon can be visible in KDE environment only.
It's all I can do to help on that one. You can re-close this issue if you want !

[txe]

gnome will welcome it:

• code from gtkcolorpickerkwin.c , kwin` means KDE windows, so it's a widget specially made for KDE window system.
• they don't a lot of people to test and then to fix issues, so to get an issue and the fix for it (to change a couple of symbols) at once should be appreciated.

But it's up to you, closing this.
