Font color changing GUI woes

[JD]

The widget that allows one to change the color of the fonts is VERY sensitive. I saw that you could change between rgb/hsv/hexdecimal. But there doesn't appear to be a way to just type the color value...you must use the sliders. Am I overlooking a way to just enter the value numerically?

No way to enter it numerically at the moment - haven't had many requests for that, honestly. (we did offer that in v2 but I don't believe we've had a single complaint about its absence in v3) How are you finding it too sensitive? Is it important that you hit a precise numerical value or are you simply finding it impossible to get the (approximate) color you want because it changes too dramatically when you slide it?

I don't think it's a high priority item. I was trying to swap the default Pleco colors around to match the color tones from the Michel Thomas Mandarin CD's. What I wanted to do was use the same red/green/blue colors Pleco already had, but on different tones. I just scribbled down the values used for the colors and then tried to manually match them for other tones. Since the HSV moves in thousandths, it was very difficult to match the original color exactly...but pretty easy to get within +/-5. But, being a technical guy, the sliders were taunting me to get the EXACT value.
