Color selectors (html)

Hi,

I have been trying to find some nice HTML and general purppose editors and so far the best editors I have found are Bluefish and KDE's Kate editor. Bluefish is nice for HTML except that it has no ability to select color same way as in Homesite.

So, does anyone knows either seperate application with "color-wheel" (like in Paint Shop Pro, Gimp, Photoshop etc) or editor with such feature? GIMP is bit too heavy just for that purppose.

Color selector would be perfect if it has ability to selelect nearest websafe color, much like Topstyle in Windows.

Thanks in advance.

A good "all-purpose" editor is Scite :)
It's in portage too :)

Seems to lack the feature I need: good color selector

Hi Rihkama.

app-editors/quanta is a nice HTML development environment for KDE. It comes with a colour chooser that by default is not visible. (It can be enabled through Settings --> Configure Toolbars).

Ciao, Brandy

Yes I likes too bluefish. It would be very nice if someone could integrate mozilla view like in Homesite IE preview. Or not

ps. I know this should not be here, but i want to say brandy you looks very beautiful. More girls here please.

Hi,

What about kcolorchooser, it does exactly what you want, and should be shipped with KDE. Because it's very small (short startup-time), I think you could use it with your favorite HTML-Editor.

I need to second the plug for Quanta. It is being actively developed and seems to be the most feature-rich of the editors; it is in fact the only KDE-based application I use on my system and I consider it indispensable. It has good remote publishing, syntax highlighting, and, as you requested, a color selector/swatch built in. I've used it for work, and for pleasure, pretty extensively.

Of all the editors, I think Quanta (so far) is the most professional and has the best shot at becoming the de-facto standard HTML editor for Linux. That's just my opinion, but it really is one of the more impressive Linux applications.

What like about most about Quanta is it's builtin previewing. I find it indepensiable in comparison to working with emacs or bluefish (or vim/kate, etc..)

Also, the next version of quanta is going to introduce an (optional) WYSIWYG mode. It automatically syncs to the current html, so you can use it for a tiny part of the whole document. It's like Dreamweaver in that respect. Some of the mode is already in cvs btw
