<p>And next you have this bullshit, which is a huge usability failure. You are greated with a palette, now I don't know about everyone but how I do is usually pick a color close enough and adjust it with the color wheel. A bit like painting, you pick some pre-made color and you adjust it. Of course you still have the color wheel by pressing the Plus(+) button at the bottom but no way to go back.<br />
And let me address the <em>bear</em> (gnome2 icon to me is a bear and that got stuck) in the room: Where is the fucking colorpicker? Why is the color name entry stashed away? I need this shit basically all the time, heck I made a Gtk2 application back in 2012 that I used for years mainly for the colorpicker and getting or putting hexcodes.</p>

+ <p>Also I have basically no idea how the ColorSquare works, x axis seems to be for the value, y seems to be saturation, okay fine but where do I find back my colors? Also Hue should always be a wheel, here for example adjusting the hue of red is basically impossible. I think this wasn't done by designers but by pure-coders that saw <abbr title="Hue Saturation Value">HSV</abbr> in a barebone way and re-invented a UI for it from scratch. The only improvement here is the alpha/transparency adjustment. So please go back to GtkColorSelection, put this alpha/transparency under the color wheel and it's done.</p>
+ <p>And this is the kind of thing which isn't likely to change much until humans gets a way to see more colors (done) and have it fit into something like <abbr title="Hue Saturation Value">HSV</abbr> or <abbr title="Red Green Blue Alpha">RBGA</abbr>, otherwise it's just something else. and I'm ignoring <abbr title="Cyan Magenta Yellow Key/blacK">CMYK</abbr> because it's for the substractive model which is for paper/painting, while this is for the additive model which is for light (screen, photography, projection), both obeys to a quite different logics/environments and so should probably have different UIs/APIs.</p>
