In 2.49 the color menus didnt stay on top after you moved away from them, they disappear when you stoped being on top of them.
In 2.5 and 2.6 series the color menus stay on the GUI even after your mouse is away from them… that sucks , this also happens with the menus where you can search something, like in the scene menu for example… this also sucks…
please do not remove this feature, it’s very important to have the color picker stable.
especially for manual color presets & copying settings.
as Sago said you simply click off the color picker & it’s gone.
Agreed, in part because I think there actually was a complaint early in Blender 2.5’s development that the color picker disappeared too easily.
However, I’m thinking that the picker could also disappear if the mouse travels far enough outside of the widget, though at a distance where it wouldn’t inadvertently disappear on you before you’re done with it.
TweakingKnobs, no not often, but I did recently.
I thought then that it was cool & I’ll use it again in the future for adding specific materials to scripts.
& yes an option would be good. Options are always nice.
