Color selection for picker overlay

Feature suggestion

Color selection for picker overlay

Intended use

This feature intends to improve the user experience with the picker.

Context of usage :

• Picker overlay color not suitable with the application/object
• User with color blindness deficiency

Proof of concept : poc/ui/picker_overlay_color(gitlab.com)

Update 18-MAR-2024 :

Planned steps for implementation :

• Color verification format and setter in python
• Color command + set overlay color empty functions in QML/Widget/NativeWindow
• Color feature for the QML/Widget/NativeWindow
• Update GUI
• Update Documentation
  • Preferences (Python)
  • Preferences (Qat Server)
• Update Changelog

Based on the POC, some issues will need to be tackled :

1. Overlay color consistency between QML/Widget application and Native window
   • Find a way to synchronize the selected color
2. Overlay color consistency between applications
   • Decide if the selected color is applied globally or on application basis
3. Save and load of the last selected color
4. Apply the selected color when the picker is not enabled
   • if the change color command is executed before the picker object is created, Qat should apply it when the user activate the picker
