It would be nice if, when I brought up the color selection palette, it had the selector circle on the currently-selected color. That way I could move it slightly to select a slightly darker/lighter color.
Just a thought, Randy
This used to happen. Looks like a broken feature to me.
Cheers,
Alan

You can get the selector circle if you pressed shift at the same time you bring it up. I'd prefer it the other way round:
You get the pipette as a default and the more fancy stuff if you pressed shift.

Hi, Randy - My install *does* do this..(You need to mouse down and click and keep it held down and then if you "cruise around" the paint palette the colors will pop into the selector circles) Are you using latest/greatest "Squeakland" release? -- Kim

Hi Kim, others, Just so we're talking about the same situation - I'm not saying that the function of my paint palette is broken, i.e. click/hold/drag to select colors -- that works fine. What I'm saying is that when I mouse over the palette to display it, I'd like the little color selector circle to be over the currently selected color. For example: 1) when starting a new painting, the default color is blue. When I mouse over the paint palette, there is no little circle displayed at all. Is this the case for you? 2) When I use the eye-dropper to select a color on the screen, say, the pinkish color of the eraser tip, but know that I really want to have a slightly lighter/darker pink, it'd be nice if the little selector circle was over the pink color of the eraser tip.
