There's a workaround for the Apple Color Picker. http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060408050920158 Follow those instructions, and you'll get an application that does nothing but display the apple color picker. There's also a link in there to a hex color picker plugin that will give you hex codes for all the colors, which you can paste into BBEdit. This isn't as nice as if there palette were built-in, but it works fine.
I posted a comment to that thread way back in April about a way I use BBEdit. Quoting myself: ------------------------------------------------------------------- I hacked together this script about a year ago for use in BBEdit. I wanted to be able to modify a hex color at any place in a script (BBEdit will only do it for predefined things such as in CSS styles or bgcolor attributes). Since I do most of my work in scripting languages and not just plain HTML, I typically have a variable name specifying the color like this: $color = '#facade'; I can double click on the color string which selects all of the text without the #, then call my applescript which is tied to a keyboard shortcut. It brings up a color picker with the selected color already chosen. I usually then modify it with the HSB controls. When I click the OK button, the hex code on the page is replaced with the hex code for the newly selected color. If you're interested, the script is here: http://burney.ws/software/bbcolorpicker/ ------------------------------------------------------------- Hope it helps someone here. - Paul Burney -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Have a feature request?
