I asked about picking up colours.
Bill Spight <bspight at pacbell.net> replied:

	This one I stumbled upon.  Click the eye dropper on the purple

Slaps forehead. It's so obvious!
	
The fact that the palette always comes up at the same time
somehow made me think I _had_ to chose from the palette
(something that would be much easier if it were larger).
	
So I did what I should originally have done.
1.  Note the balloon help that pops up.
2.  'Change color' <method strings with it>.
3.  Moprh balloonHelpTextForHandle: <select>
4.  doRecolor:with:<select>

Gosh.  It turns out that if you hold down the shift key while
clicking on the eyedropper halo handle, you get a _different_
set of options, where you can change a whole lot of things:
rounded corners, sticky, lock, colour, border colour, border
style, border width, gradient fill, drop shadow colour.

If it had ever occurred to me to try shift-clicking on halo handles,
I might have discovered this ages ago.

5.  changeColor<implementors of it>
6.  Morph changeColor<select>

This calls ColorPickerMorph new choseModalityFromPreference

7.  ColorPickerMorph<browse it>
8.  <select class comment> CURSE no such luck, no comment.
9.  Poke around a bit.  AH HAH!
    ColorPickerMorph class>>initialize
	ColorChart := Color colorPaletteForDepth: 16 extent: 190 at 60.

10. Double those numbers.
11. <accept>
12. In a Workspace, ColorPickerMorph initialize<do it>

HOORAY!  A palette that is almost big enough!

The method comment of ColorPickerMorph>>initialize is rather apropos
for the thread about Morphic:
    "... for the moment, in grand Morphic fashion,
     this is rather inflexibly all housed right here"

13. Looks as though things happen in #pickColorAt:.
14. Notice comment "pick up color, either inside or outside this world".
    pickedCOlor := Display colorAt: aGlobalPoint

How embarrassing.  I had said to myself "I can't do this in Squeak."
If only I had said "There MUST be a way to do this in Squeak, shovel
out, start DIGGING boyo." I'd have got there unaided.

Mind you, this is linked up with the #modalColorPickers preference,
which really wants to be false for this kind of "pick up any colour
anywhere" use, and I had it set to true.  In that case, clicking outside
the palette doesn't work so well.
