Wish Improved editor color picker

[PhilN]

The initial idea was that the color picker could assist in generating RGB color values in a text format which you did, however in HTML hex code format "0xFFFFA500". This is not so useful to some of us in B4A or B4i.

It would be much more useful if the output was in RGB such as "255,255,165" or "128,255,255,165" since this is very frequently used to define custom colors.

Dim MyOrange As Int = Colors.RGB(255,255,165)
Dim MyOrangeT As Int = Colors.ARGB(128,255,255,165)

Perhaps you could have a radio button option which selects the desired format, HTML hex, RGB or ARGB. That would be much more useful.

You can also write:

Dim MyOrange As Int = 0xFFFAC50A
Activity.Color = MyOrange
'Or
Activity.Color = 0xFFFAC50A
