Hack Palette Editor name

[pixelmixer]

Hi!,

Maybe the wrong place to ask, maybe not.
Does anybody know how to hack out the name that's displayed above a palette in the palette editor?
I'm trying to get a floating color swatch as small as possible, to tap and set the foreground color.
   
gimppaletteeditor.c looks promising, and you can hide some widgets, I can't identify the name element though.

It's created in the GimpDataEditor class. You don't want to delete it there though. Search for gtk_widget_show (data_editor->view); and add this line below it:

Code:

  gtk_widget_set_visible (data_editor->name_entry, FALSE);

Hope it helps! You'll probably want to make a patch out of this so you can reapply it as needed.

Instead of hacking the C file, maybe you can just hack/create a translation file.

But if you have only two colors, why not assign them to the FG/BG colors, and then use the standard X shortcut to swap them?

Hi,

I found that with a swap color shortcut, I'd still not know what the foreground color is without looking away
from the working area, at a swatch, then back to the brush tip. It works really well for me to 'tap' the color I want next to where I'm working.  Ideally the working color would be indicated somehow on the brush cursor, just like a real brush.
