Thinking about doing a LDCad 1.7 version

[Miguel Reizinho]

I prefer to make it as much the same as the filter in the part bin. So there will also be a special 'search' group for the color bin which initially shows nothing until you enter a filter.

Only thing I'm still not sure about is the space it takes, as it's not always needed and I kinda liked the minimal sized color window. Making it opitional is kinda tough because the 1.x gui rendering is currently very static (2.0 is basically a html like engine whom handles 'div' sections )

Perhaps a dropdown list for v2.0? I really like the color pallete from stud.io. It's very pratical and I would welcome something similiar in LDCaad. It has ability to filter/search, the colors are sorted alphabetically and by type (solid, metalic, transparent), and has a left vertical toolbar where you can see color groups and click on it to see only colors of that particular hue (in the image, the magenta color group was selected):




In MLCad I used to have the colors on a vertical toolbar to save up some space:
