Re: HildonColorButton / HildonColorChooserDialog in Fremantle

 Hi,
 
 HildonColorButton and HildonColorChooserDialog are both depreciated in
 Fremantle. The documentation doesn't tell what to use instead. This
 bug[1] mentions the following:
 [...]A HildonPickerButton/HildonTouchSelector variant could be used
 here.[...]

Yes, this is true, the idea is use the HildonTouchSelector (or a pannable area
+treeviews for custom requirements) to choose elements from a list.

In the end, choose a color should be the same, with the difference that you
will only have a discrete number of color to choose from.

 Could someone elaborate how choosing a color should look like in
 Fremantle?

Basically it should be a list with all the colors, and if you want to avoid use
only the name, and extra cell renderer to show the color. Visually it should
be similar to the hildon-touch-selector-example.c (at the hildon repository,
examples directory), but instead of the stock icons, the colors.

Hi,

perhaps a general hint to requests regarding the hildon development. There is 
another mailing list you can find here [1], where special 
issues/wishes/comments can be discussed directly with the hildon developers. So 
if there is demand for a special widget or changes in the hildon 
implementation, it is possible to use this mailing list directly. If there are 
general questions about the usage of hildon, of course here is the right place. 

I just wanted to mention that this kind of mailing list exists and that of 
course participation is appreciated.

If someone wants to come up with such an implementation, I'd encourage
him/her to file a bug about this in bugs.maemo.org and we can discuss it
in detail, review it, and finally push it to the hildon git tree.

Thanks for the answer API. I'll try how that looks / works for me.

@Claudio: I think it would be nice to have a color picker widget
directly in Hildon, but I'm not sure how many people/applications really
need it. Still, of course it would be great if someone would create one.
Only it's very unlikely that it's me :/ I would like to, but I just
don't have the time...

Not trying to be pushy, but aren't you going to code something similar
anyway?

To be honest, it could also be that I'll just drop the support for color
selection or that I'll continue using HildonColorButton. This feature is
not very important for me and it can only be seen in a settings
dialog... So nothing is decided yet.

But even if I'm going to code something, it makes a huge difference to
produce something that works for me and something that works for
everyone else. You probably know that very well ;)

We will see on one of those Sundays where I'll have to make the decision
between laying in the park or sitting at home coding...
