The new color selection type does not have a Hex code input.

I am officially requesting one.
It's a normal Windows built-in color input dialog, so I don't know how much they can change in it. But for that you can just use a normal text input anyway, so you're not missing anything.
You can use websites to convert hexadecimal colors into RGB format until (if) they decide to put that feature in.

I know how to convert the two types back and forth, I just want there to be an input option for it.

Sounds like a good idea. That's something we can consider.

Or, better yet, you can write your own program to do it. Magical!

Yeah you could :) Actually I should probably do that haha. It's just that the internet seemed to be easier to use than creating something on your own. ^-^; Shame on me.

Who do you people think I am? I know how to convert hex2dec and dec2hex, there isn't a problem there. I'm asking for the current color selection system built into BYOND be improved by including a box for hex values.

Popisfizzy and Spunky_Girl
I've obviously already wrote my own program to do what you're both suggesting.

And Lummox, I appreciate you taking this feature request into consideration.

Shame on you, linking to procs that just convert hexadecimal when you could just as easily link to ones that convert #rrggbb to the numeric counterparts, which almost seems more along the lines of what Spunky_Girl was looking for (though not at all what Evi of au was looking for here). =D

More on topic, I support the notion of a hexadecimal input box for color selection.

I thought you'd be someone who was here long enough to know how the thread view looks. Apparently I was dead wrong. Notice how I was replying to Spunky_Girl's post and not yours. That might be a hint of how the conversation was going.

So, yea, move along.
In response to Popisfizzy
Yea because you always see me posting on the forums Pop.

Your first post here was from '05. I though you might've learned something between then and now.

I requested this last month if I recall correctly, and you (Lummox JR) though it was good idea then too, but shortly after, my post had vanished and it seems as if it was not considered to be implemented into the next version.

Just because I agree something is a good idea does not mean it will be implemented right away. Whether new features get implemented is Tom's call. At the moment I'm working on rather unrelated stuff of rather more importance so I doubt this request would get high priority. It's rather unlikely this will show up in the 441 release.
