I use KDE Plasma, and much prefer the KDE color picker over the GTK one that Firefox uses, with input type=color.
I know that I can set GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 to make Firefox use the native file picker, is there a way to make it use the native color picker as well?
I know there probably isn’t a way, but I figured it’s worth a shot asking.
But why would I go to Windows, if KDE has the same colour picker? Literally an argument for me staying is that the colour picker is identical, so not worth switching for the colour picker (which I really don’t care about when it comes to choosing a desktop).
All I wanted was to see if anyone knew of a way to allow Firefox to use my desktop environment’s colour picker. I don’t care if the design is “stolen” from Windows, and I doubt Microsoft cares either. You really have picked a very obscure, and rather stupid hill to die on.
Sorry for being harsh, I’m just frustrated that the discussion here is about KDE’s colour picker design, and not about customising Firefox, which is what I asked about.
I apologize for being harsh as well, but that old Win311 style color picker came from the 16 bit days. You wanna rewrite it in 64 bit?
Hang on… you don’t think they are literally the same program right?
The KDE colour picker is a different program that just looks like the Windows one. KDE’s colour picker isn’t “16 bit”.
No shit, M$ literally used the same color picker for 24 bit truecolor as well. It’s literally the same GUI.
No… I am starting to understand why you have been saying the things you have. You are actually thinking they are the same program.
They very much are not. KDE wrote their own. Just happens to look the same. KDE’s uses QT, Microsoft would use Window’s native toolkit.
They are not the same colour picker.
They have the same interface. No originality, no creativity, just copy the big $$ crappy interface…
ugh
