Description

This widget provides color selection facilities to your application. The widget appears as a button which contains a "color swatch" of the currently selected color. When the button is pressed, the widget presents the user with a color selection dialog where the color can be selected.

You can select the color to be displayed in a number of ways: floating point values for the red, green and blue channels, integers in the range 0 to 65,535, or integers in the range 0 to 255, depending on your needs.

void color_picked_callback(GtkWidget *w, guint r, guint g, guint b, guint a, gpointer data)
{
	g_print("User selected color (rgba): d d d d\n", r, g, b, a);
	/* save colors to configuration file, or use them some other way */
}
...
GtkWidget *cp;

/* create a color picker, set a default color */
cp = gnome_color_picker_new();
gnome_color_picker_set_i8(GNOME_COLOR_PICKER(cp),
			  255, 0, 0, 0);

/* connect a function to our widget */
gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(cp), "color_set",
		   GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(color_picked_callback), NULL);
...
/* retrieve color from our widget, someplace else in code */
