- This isn't a big issue but it is one that I'm seeing lot of and it annoys me.
- With the color well, please don't resize the well so that there's only a 2-5
- pixel well where the color is shown. It's really hard to see in black and
- white (and ugly looking, to me) and hard to use when it's that small. Now that
- the drag and drop functionality is being used in more places it's really
- important that applications have wide areas where objects can be dropped onto
- or dragged from accurately with one drag of the mouse.
-
- I think a good size for the color well is the size that you drag off of the
- palette in IB.
-
- Lastly, if you use the standard color well, there's no need for a "Color..."
- button near it (as in Preferences app). The border of the color well and the
- menu choice are enough to get to the panel.
-
- Thanks.
