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.

    If that’s what they want who am I to tell them no? The point of open software is to be what the user wants. Why is any particular opinion more correct than another within a group that prides itself on giving users choice.

    If KColorPicker isn’t someone’s cup of tea, there is nothing stopping anyone from changing that default out. The color picker that appears is a user setting.

      Its literally technology from 1993. Are their actually no new ideas since 1993 that they just keep copying the same GUI?

      Pitiful, absolutely pitiful. Hell, even AI can do better than ancient copycat

          Nope, I’ve just decided that I’m not stupid enough to share my code when everyone gives me shit for designing a unique user interface.

            They’re giving you shit about complaining about a nice and working color picker for no reason except that somebody made something similar quite a while ago. Nobody cares about your color picker, you are the only one bringing it up.
