Playing With Colors

I like colors in my apps. So I usually have a 'control' activity to create difference color combinations.

I used these colors for panels, labels and label text.

I find that the color dialog is good most of the time but not for 'fine-tuning' the rgb values.

So, I created this activity for that purpose.

The sample panel and label with text is located at the top.

The toggle view switches between label color and label text color.

The radio buttons select the panel, label or label color.

The check buttons select the red, green and blue values.

The seekbars are for 'gross' selection of the red, green or blue values.

The plus and minus buttons are for 'fine' selection of the red, green or blue values.

You can also tap on the panel, label or text for a 'random' combination to be used.

I have attached a zipped file of the project for your perusal.

I would entertain any suggestions, comments etc.

Thanks for sharing!
I do get tired of the 'try and see' approach.

I found this code searching for 'gradientdrawable' that reduces the amount of code. It's in the CodeModule Activity.

Sub GD(col0 As Int, col1 As Int, Radius As Float, Style As String) As GradientDrawable
   Dim gdw As GradientDrawable
   Dim Cols(2) As Int
   Cols(0) = col0
   Cols(1) = col1
   gdw.Initialize(Style, Cols)
   gdw.CornerRadius = Radius
   Return gdw
End Sub
