I think this is a space problem. If you expand it a little bit, you can read the full text:


[cid:06b8d01d-0589-4cbf-9522-15d12cb081af]

However, I added balloons for the buttons.
Hm, should the default balloon text for each button in Squeak be its content if abbreviated?

The advantage of the new one is that no modality is enforced. You can open multiple pickers side-by-side, even on the same target (though I'm afraid they are not synced).

@Subbu: I value your argument, it's just the morph being recolored not really looking nice during moving your cursor when picking is enabled. Let's wait some time for others' opinions :)

Best,
Christoph

Morphic is designed for live and direct interaction instead of modal
interactions. When selecting a color, you either copy from another Morph
(picking) or choose a new shade from a color pane. The color pane is
quite dense, so a preview pane is useful while we click and drag over
the pane. Morphic logic is quite compact and simple to implement. Using
mode flags disrupts this flow and introduces unnecessary complexity.

This is just my opinion. I will let others with more experience in
Morphic pitch in their views.
