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.

    Are you kidding me? You mean the KDE Color Picker is basically an exact rip of the Windows Color Picker?

    😂🤣

    Edit: Look up the screenshots, I’m not in the least bit joking. That’s an exact clone color picker to Win9X.

    KDE couldn’t be even marginally original?

        Isn’t the purpose of Linux to actually step away from Windows, not copy it practically verbatim from 1993?

          No. The purpose of Linux is to provide a free and open source operating system, that can be customised by yourself and the community to your liking.

          I like KDE’s colour picker. It seems I would like the Windows one as well. It’s a good design. Linux doesn’t exist to be contrary, it exists to be a customisable, open experience.

          The purpose of Linux is to be a free and open source OS kernel on top of which free and open source software can provide whatever user experience they want to provide and users are free to pick one.

            But they’re not free to literally copy an existing interface from a big $$$ corporation…

            Again, I use text based input as the main interface. Not RGB. Not HSL. I literally name my colors with text.

            Want human flesh, type “human flesh”, not some unintuitive #RRGGBB crap.

              I’ve read a lot of youre comments trying to understand youre meaning here, but are you trying to say you want to represent all 16 million colors of a 24 bit color?

              And also somehow in a way that not extremely subjective to the user?

              Ngl I’d love to see this as a product, and definitely keep me updated if this software ever has a usable demo
