I use KDE Plasma, and much prefer the KDE color picker over the GTK one that Firefox uses, with input type=color.
I know that I can set GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 to make Firefox use the native file picker, is there a way to make it use the native color picker as well?
I know there probably isn’t a way, but I figured it’s worth a shot asking.
Text works to select or mix a color (I have a totally different definition of ‘color’ in my system). One ‘color’ is an entire measured gradient of colors.
I use terms like ‘solid color’ and ‘faded color’. Every other system uses solid color technology, but I use faded color technology in combination with solid colors.
Look underneath you, look at the shadow on your floor/carpet. Does that shadow change the color, or does that shadow change the illumination of the same color?
What is a color?
Isn’t that just a semitransparent layer on top?
Nope, existing color systems can’t account for color flare, which is nonlinear.
My original inspiration for my color processing system was to fix images with a ‘color cast’, if you will. Like, if an image has an extreme blue hue because of a camera flash, or something similar.
The more I researched into it and experimented for myself, the more I realized that chromatic offset isn’t much different than the C in Y=MX+C. Find the offset and subtract it from the image…
To me it was basically like a fog, that needed a mathematical solution.
