And…? So what, if a design works, a design works. This is a colour picker.

Moxvallix,

Ok? My point is that it really doesn’t matter. A colour picker doesn’t have to be unique.

If it’s such a problem for you, and you are obviously a colour picker expert, why don’t you make KDE a new colour picker. I’m sure the community would appreciate a new and innovative colour picker, if it’s genuinely better than the Windows style one.

Moxvallix,

But why would I go to Windows, if KDE has the same colour picker? Literally an argument for me staying is that the colour picker is identical, so not worth switching for the colour picker (which I really don’t care about when it comes to choosing a desktop).

All I wanted was to see if anyone knew of a way to allow Firefox to use my desktop environment’s colour picker. I don’t care if the design is “stolen” from Windows, and I doubt Microsoft cares either. You really have picked a very obscure, and rather stupid hill to die on.

Sorry for being harsh, I’m just frustrated that the discussion here is about KDE’s colour picker design, and not about customising Firefox, which is what I asked about.

No. The purpose of Linux is to provide a free and open source operating system, that can be customised by yourself and the community to your liking.

I like KDE’s colour picker. It seems I would like the Windows one as well. It’s a good design. Linux doesn’t exist to be contrary, it exists to be a customisable, open experience.

Hmm, it appears it already is set to true. Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to work.

It pops up whenever a KDE application offers colour selection. Easiest way is probably to open settings to Appearance > Colors and click the Custom button.

Falkon also uses it with input type=color which is why the screenshot says Falkon in it.

Hang on… you don’t think they are literally the same program right?

The KDE colour picker is a different program that just looks like the Windows one. KDE’s colour picker isn’t “16 bit”.

Moxvallix,

No… I am starting to understand why you have been saying the things you have. You are actually thinking they are the same program.

They very much are not. KDE wrote their own. Just happens to look the same. KDE’s uses QT, Microsoft would use Window’s native toolkit.

They are not the same colour picker.

    I’m sorry, but your comments on the Steam Deck post certainly did not help with the hostility, as you were being quite hostile yourself.

    In that post, one person made a snarky retort, and clearly you were understandably upset, but I would argue a good chunk of the hostility in that post comes from you. I think possibly even just starting the post with the title containing “basically bricked my deck” is already framing the discussion in a somewhat inflammatory manner.

    That was a good watch, thank you.

    Yeah. Same company as the Simpsons comics, although I don’t think they still making comics nowadays (Bongo comics). Used to read them a tonne as a kid.

    I’d be down to moderate if you are looking, already moderate a couple other communities. I live in UTC+9:30.

    If anyone runs into this popup, make sure your uBlock Origin is up-to-date, and that you don’t have any other adblock extensions installed (disable the one in Enhancer for YouTube as well). Then, make sure you clear your filter lists’ cache in uBlock, and update them. This should allow you to block the popup. If it comes back again after a few days, repeat.

    Moxvallix,

    I did. Just thought I’d pop this here anyways, especially given the title.

    All g, not a problem.

    I can’t talk to the hardware side, but from a software point of view it is unlikely to be possible to set up really any good tracking. The device doesn’t have a GPS, so you would have to rely on IP address location, which in turn would rely on the stealer setting up wifi on the deck without resetting it first.

    It wouldn’t be hard to make the deck log the IP to an external server every time it connects to wifi, but it’s unlikely it would be very helpful. However, the deck could be set up to send more info, like nearby wifi networks, as well as a list of other devices on the wifi, which may help to locate it, but won’t be nearly as good as an airtag, or as if it had a GPS.
