For those who have it, using the WB 3.0 colorwheel is a clever idea,
and including it in LW might be nice. But the 3.0 WB colorwheel is a
BOOPSI class (gadget type) that requires both 3.0 and AGA, so those of
us not so endowed wouldn't benefit. Unless...hmm...how about a color
pick plug-in?
The colorwheel in MS-Windows is part of the common dialog package and
can be included in any program with just a few lines of code. And in
general, I'd hope that LW will rely on existing or third-party work as
much as possible. No sense in AH sweating over stuff like colorwheels
when there's real work to do.
