This has also been the default color picker since Win311/Win95 days. Does this mean people want to backtrack on technology?
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
Okay so you're here to troll, alright.
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.
If it's such a problem for you, and you are obviously a colour picker expert, why don't you make KDE a new colour picker. I'm sure the community would appreciate a new and innovative colour picker, if it's genuinely better than the Windows style one.
I also don't use KDE, I use Gnome. At least they have a little unique style rather than ripping off M$
