I know. I wrote Color Painter, which also comes with its own very unique color picker.
My design works. My design is also extremely unique. I didn't rip off an existing design.
Okay so...which of the things in the picture or discussion is color painter?
Is it in any way related to KDE Color Picker?
I feel like of all the things you've said so far, all of which have only tried to discourage the OP to get an answer, and not actually answer their question.
I'm calling out KDE for ripping off the Windows Color Picker. Not mad at OP directly, but still, might as well go back to Windows if that's your preferred color picker.
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
