I've just given a steampunk facelift to the colour picker widget from
Merlin ('arry Whitfield). Harry has created loads of gorgeously
efficient Yahoo widgets that range from enigma decoding machines to
resistor calculators. Harry's widgets are always fascinating, well-coded
and do the job, however none of them are quite steampunk enough for me!
So, I have taken on the challenge of steampunkifying one of Harry's
widgets, the colour picker widget. This widget is a simple interface to
the standard colour picker as provided by Windows or the Mac OS. A
single click on the colour ball causes the colour picker to appear. When
you have chosen the colour to use, the widget displays the hexadecimal
value of the colour so that you can copy/paste that value into your
website development IDE or other tool.
I have added a phopteron-style brass wrap to the colour ball and have
added a brass pop out to display the hexadecimal values. It is as simple
as that.
I hope to have the widget working soon and as a demonstration here is a
small piccie.
