Description Philippe Lhoste 2018-03-26 09:09:02 UTC

When I open the palette docker, there is a drop-down listing all the colors with their name, if any.
If I selected the deevad palette (from David Revoy), most names are truncated, eg. showing "...p...king" for "Dark deep Red inking".
First, if possible, it would be nice to have a tooltip over these colors in the list, showing the full name.
And / or the capability for this component to expand when it has room: when I detach the docker, I can make it as big as I want, but the drop-down keeps the same size.

Side note: it could be useful (?) to show the hexa code (eg. #CO1O80) in the tooltip, beside the name.

The dropdown should at the least update to resize proper.

The HEX code doesn't make much sense given that Krita also supports non sRGB values, and using hexcodes to identify a color outside of strict 8bit sRGB is going to confuse a lot of people who do not understand what a hex code is in itself and that they can have wildly different results based on the color space the color is in.

Palette docker: remove superfluous spacer

Now the color combobox can expand as much as it wants.

It's not possible to add tooltips to the entries in the squeezedcombobox
class as far as I can tell.
