ColorPicker Control

[timunie]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I wanted to give my users the option to hava a custom accent color. My result is a custom class for now, but may be someday it will be implemented for others, too. ( see #3515 ). I think it would be nice to have a colorpicker, as there is none in WPF by default

Describe the solution you'd like
have a colorpicker for selecting colors

Additional context
There are several ideas what we can do:

• make a custom controltemplate for this one: https://github.com/xceedsoftware/wpftoolkit/wiki/ColorPicker
• make a new control similar to this colorpicker https://github.com/xceedsoftware/wpftoolkit/wiki/ColorPicker (I don't know if we are allowed to take code from there)
• Create a now control from scratch

None

@punker76 I would like to help with this topic, if you want me to. If you don't want to have a colorpicker at all, just close this issue. I wont blame you.

It'd be cool to have this inside of the mahapps kit imo. Currently I'm using

https://github.com/Dirkster99/ColorPickerLib

but it'd be nice to have them in one place. maybe could use his colorPicker as a starting point?

@RejectKid this control is based on this toolkit, as far as I can see. There are a few resons why I am trying to implement it on my own:

• Localization only shows when the Control is active, I want it shown all the time
• The control is hard to style imo
• what about the license? Can we use it without any permission?
• it is sometimes slow when having many colors
• the list of available colors is static, so if you want to provide different ColorPickers for different proposes you need to workaround this.

I still need some time to get this working and @punker76 has more important stuff to do, so we need to be a bit patient at the moment

current state:

Happy coding
