It looks like Apple really, really doesn't want you to do this. Every sneaky kludge I've thought of is thwarted by limitations of the API. This makes sense to me. I like that the standard color panel is always synced with the color of the first responder for a consistent user experience at all times in all apps. So we come to the old question: what are you really trying to do? If it doesn't reveal too much about your project, what are the meanings of the colors in question, and what use case do you have that warrants deviating from the standard behavior? --Andy _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
