A colour picker which allows selecting colours from either the RGB or HSV colour spaces.

@fx910: Thankyou for notifying me about the arrow buttons, it will be available in the next release. I probably won't implement CMYK, that colour space is very subjective and unique to whatever printer you are using so you are better off sticking to professional software to handle stuff like that, besides I don't think as many people would have great use for it.

Ervinzz: Ummm... just drag around on the big colourful rectangles and observe...

Stupid question, how it works?

@ alamandrax, I scrolled down to do just what you did (write Hindi translation).

Anyway, neat widget, well deserved winner.

ఇంద్రధనుస్సు రంగులు in Telugu.

transliterates to "indradhanussu rangulu"

इंद्रधनुष के रंग in Hindi.

transliterates to "indradhanush ke rung"

This widget rocks! Just two ideas.

(1) Have the option of displaying CMYK. This probably is too hard, but would be useful for non-web colour picking.

(2) Make that when the up or down arrow is pushed while focus is on one of the inputs causes the value to increase or decrease by one. Holding down the shift key while doing the same would cause it to round up or down to the next multiple of ten (like how Adobe products behave).

Hello! The Portuguese translation is "Cores do arco-íris" (the 1st "I" in the last word has an accent but if your keyboard doesn't have it, just write a simple "I").

Very nice widget!

And the translation in Hungarian: "A szivárvány színei"

I always wanted something like this in Opera. Thank you!!

In Spanish: Los colores del arcoiris

Italian:
I colori dell'arcobaleno

Congrats! Very useful ... Love it!

By lucina, # May 17, 2006 4:19:45 PM

OK, I won't use only these colours anymore then.
Is the widget quite slow on other machines too btw? Like lagging or so...
But can live with it.

Romanian translation:
'Culorile curcubeului'

By vlad_leonte, # May 17, 2006 11:58:05 AM

Thankyou for all of the positive comments. I will do an update at the start of next month which will include each translation submitted as well as a method of applying the currently selected colour as the background of the widget. If you have any other ideas please mention them.

@eestlane: Web safe colours are faster becoming a thing of the past, widgets aren't about reliving issues from the ninties. And since there are only 216 of them you are probably better off just using a static pallete.

Ok, nice widget ... "Colors of Rainbow" in Czech "Barvy duhy"

By wessan, # May 16, 2006 9:19:56 PM

very nice, indeed

By Lawmune, # May 16, 2006 9:08:49 PM

Congrats Benjamin.

This widget won some prizes in case anybody hasn't noticed. Congratulations Benjamin!

By Jadd, # May 16, 2006 6:31:58 PM

Anyway to switch to web-safe colours mode in future?

By eestlane, # May 16, 2006 6:17:44 PM

Benjamin!, I was working on something similar!, I can see you have the same problem than I do: The control regions not always work, now I know for sure that this is an opera bug, so I'll continue my bug report on this. at least you've already filled one.

Congrats!!
