Main Features and Hints

The widget runs as ordinary widget, sending a message colorChosen <color> that you can use in your scripts.
OR it runs as popup-widget (modeless dialog), stays on screen until you click outside of it (cancelling) or you click "OK" (returning the chosen RGBA-color).
The sample stack shows the basic usage, for example when clicking a color swatch (LC graphic object).
After installation of the widget and restarting LiveCode find detailed help in the dictionary.
