Add a Color Picker icon in the Tool Options docker (Vector Layer)

[Iruhas]

I have a request for a special feature in the vector layer, which is to have a color picker in the tool options docker.

This feature will make it very easy for people to create things in the vector layer, because:

1. Beginners can immediately know how to change the stroke/fill color because of the color picker icon, because it works the same way as when using the color picker in raster layers.
2. It helps my workflow, which is not familiar with color palettes.
3. More freedom, because you can experiment with mixing colors on a raster layer and then use those colors on a vector layer easily without having to create a palette of test colors one by one.

This is my only request, which I also continued the suggestion from @AhabGreybeard

Vector drawing in krita

There is a colour picker function for vector objects for stroke and fill but it’s clumsy compared to the Ctrl+click operation of the usual colour picker for paint layers. When a vector object is selected, it’s Fill can be set by using the FG Select a Colour window colour picker and the Stroke by the BG colour selection, by selecting a colour from somewhere else on the canvas. If you want to select a colour from another vector object you use Shift+click. Also, the Select a Colour window is qui…

and hopefully it can be realized.

Roughly like the picture below what I want

exactly, that’s what I want

Not just a color picker. Please make the color selection for vector layer “normal”. Just make it work like other color selection UI in Krita. It’s quite unusable now: it’s super small, it doesn’t has a color history, it doesn’t accept a hex code input, etc etc.

Any news on this feature? As mentioned above, color selection for vectors is unusable.

Good luck picking colors from this tiny triangle

Try swapping fg/bg color (hotkey), and then using whichever color picker you want to pick the fg color, then swapping them back. The vector shape should be selected.
