Description Ilya V. Portnov 2014-08-08 15:38:29 UTC
Currently selected color is not displayed almost nowhere. There is by default control in toolbar, showing currently selected foreground/background color, but swatches in it are too small; on many displays it is almost impossible to see what color is selected in such a small square. I think, currently selected foreground (and maybe background too?) color should be indicated as 18x18 (as minimum, 24x24 or 32x32 would be better) swatch in toolbar or status bar.

 I guess we could add a color well widget to the statusbar, that would be the easiest solution. I don't think adding it to the advanced color selector is the best idea, since users might actually use one of the other color selectors instead.

[FEATURE] Add on-canvas preview of current color

1) Now when activating color picker in the brush tool
   with Ctrl or any other shortcut, currently selected color
   will be displayed near the cursor on screen.

2) If you start actual color-picking, the two colors will be
   compared side-by-side.
Fixes task T206
