I'm calling out KDE for ripping off the Windows Color Picker. Not mad at OP directly, but still, might as well go back to Windows if that's your preferred color picker.
Can you imagine that someone can like some aspects of an operating system without liking the whole of it?
KDE isn't an operating system, it's a desktop environment on top of an operating system. Can't they avoid copycat Windows?
@over_clox @xigoi I would argue what M$ is ripping off KDE as much as they can

I didn't ask or say shit about Windows 11. I said KDE ripped off the color picker interface from Windows 3.11, from 1993.
Oh, that's right. I forgot that people kept using Windows after 7..
You're probably not wrong, M$ dips their dirty paws into GitHub, which they now own apparently...
bruv KDE is on their own GitLab instance, they don't have any code on GitHub....
