The new portable color picker may be a step up for Windows users, but it's a significant step back for those of us who play SL on Macs. The Mac color picker is way more functional, and yes I really do use a significant number of those features. Please give us an option to use the native OS color picker!

I second that emotion. Definitely a step backwards.

Seconded and Thirded !!
I use the Mac colour picker all the time, I can't believe we're losing it !
How you possibly expect to improve on the system picker, a device that is a standard across all Mac applications ?

i agree, or you agree with me... as i posted yesterday /142/4a/37581/1.html

kelly answered and said i raised some good points but nothing about the possibility of at least having the choice of the SL or mac color picker.

I come from a Mac background, and I really really like (and miss) the crayon picker when on Windows PCs. It was so delightful and fun and just really handy. I dunno how difficult it'd be to allow the option of "default SL color picker" and "native system color picker", but here's my gentle voice on this one. *raises paw*

NEVAR! You tawdry color vixens, you!

But seriously, if an option can be made available, that would be cool. It's a shame to have functionality go backwards.

I agree - definitely a backward step. Give us the choice please.

If you're going to support native color pickers, then would it be possible for the Linux port to support the GTK-2 color picker? Between the RGB plot, the HSV wheel+triangle, the CMYK picker, and the watercolor picker, it's got almost as many options as the Mac color picker.

I don't even know what that is but now that you mentioned it, I have to find out!!!

A choice would be wonderful... but I will choose the native color picker.

...Or just duplicate the functionality of the other color picking modes in SL. Whichever seems to be best for the LL bototm line.

Yet another vote in favor of the Mac color picker.

With an eyedropper tool!

I agree. That color picker is the best when you need to save colors to color a bunch of objects the same.

I really love the native OS X color picker. With that said, I hate being popped out of fullscreen mode so that I can access it.

I'm on the fence here, but I almost prefer keeping the new one.
