gcolor2

A simple color chooser. It's in dapper already, that should be trivial backporting :)

ditto... it looks useful

jsut built the backport fine, will notify list.

Approved and sent off.

In the meantime, you can do this:

1. create a new file, copy the below code into it and give it a filename of color-picker.py or something.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')
import gtk

class ColorPicker:
    def close(self, attributes):
        gtk.main_quit()

    def __init__(self):
        self.window = gtk.ColorSelectionDialog('Select Color')
        self.window.ok_button.connect("clicked", self.close)
        self.window.cancel_button.connect("clicked", self.close)
        self.window.show()

    def main(self):
        gtk.main()

prog = ColorPicker()
prog.main()

1. run the file in a term (or create a new menu item for it) with:

python color-picker.py

It's a simple python app and I know it isn't the same as gcolor2, but it will suffice until gcolor2 is available with sudo apt-get install.

very nice... no longer will i have to use the gnome-panel background color selection :p
