Custom Colors (AceAttorneyMaster111)
Issue #5
resolved
In AAOv5, there was a way to choose custom colors, and they would be forever saved for use at any time in the editor. In AAOv6, you have to find the hexadecimal or the HTML name and enter it yourself.

I agree, it would be kinda in the same place as v5.
-
Actually, could we add in like a colour-wheel or something to make selecting colours easier?
-
I second replacing v5's color table with a color wheel.
-
Well, the good thing is that html5 already has a colour input, though it isn't supported by Safari...
Not sure if that's a major issue, though.
-
Or IE for that matter. It's great that it's supported by 2/3rds of current computers, but I'd like wider support before this one is implemented...
-
I'm sure there's some sort of API that we can use that extends this behaviour for IE and Safari users...
Quickly googling, I found this, which looks to be quite promising...
-
To be honest, I think simply using the HTML5 input is good.
Our two main target browsers, Firefox and Chrome, support it already; the others will just fall back to a basic text input where they fill the colour code by hand, which is equivalent to what we have today in V6 (where you even have to type the colour tag inlcuding the code code by hand). So in almost no time and without any code maintainance implications on our end, we have a perfect experience on modern browsers, and functional one in old browsers, that's a good bet for me.
If we really want to add support for old browsers, then I would go for a simple polyfill which does not require any change to our code; something like http://bgrins.github.io/spectrum/#modes-input if it works as advertised.

Ah, I see. Well, if that's fine, it shouldn't be too awful to do then... Nice.

More specifically, you're asking for a custom-text-color-selection GUI, which would be great to have.
The first question: Where do we put this in the editor? My instinct is to put a button to an editor window on the frame-toolbox minieditor as a new line under the pre-existing colors.
