ColorPicker

[Armin Le Grand <Ar...@me.com>]

	Hi all,

I have asked Christian Lippka (a former colleague and one of the 
original developers from Sun/Oracle) for his implementation of the new 
ColorPicker which I knew he was working on privately short before the 
big change came along rolling over us all. He kindly offered to use his 
code under Apache license, so I took the time to take it, adapt it as 
needed and check functionality on Win, Mac and Linux (see task 
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=118828 for details).

It's working on all systems well now, Just wanted to ask if someone has 
concerns to replace the old, ugly and non-intuitive one with the new, 
ergonomic and intuitive one which e.g. LO already uses since he also 
gave it to them. YOu can see a comparison under 
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=77172 where the upper 
one is the old one (of course).

Part of this is surely a question of taste, but please do not let me 
make bad experiences by making this a bike-shed example :-)

Sincerely,
	Armin

	Hi all,

no complaints, just applause (thanks Pedro). I have now committed the 
change and also updated the AOO 3.4 release notes page [1] accordingly.

Kudos go to Christian Lippka for offering this feature for Apache 
OpenOffice!
