@wojtryb Much like you, I was a bit annoyed by using either the tiny color selector in the pop-up palette (right click) or having the advanced color selector docker take up a lot of screen space. This was one of the main reasons that lead me to create a plugin that offers a compromise between the two! By default it lets you access the full “advanced color selector” by pressing an on-screen button, and then it automatically hides once you click the canvas (not as soon as the cursor leaves the color selector). If this sounds interesting, you can find more info and a download link to my plugin here 🙂 : > [@KanvasBuddy - a Minimalist Toolbar](https://krita-artists.org/t/kanvasbuddy-a-minimalist-toolbar/549/): > > KanvasBuddy 0.4.1 A minimalist toolbar for Krita [[KB Main]](https://github.com/Kapyia/KanvasBuddy/blob/master/images/main_panel.png)What is KanvasBuddy? KanvasBuddy is a Python plugin made for Krita, a free professional and open-source painting program. KB is a small dialog that floats on top of the canvas packed with enough features to let you spend as much time in Canvas-Only mode as possible. The idea behind KB was to provide the 20% of tools used 80% of the time in the most out-of-the-way GUI possible. Its features are very similar to that of Krita’s own Pop-Up… (It’s all free and open-source) --- _[View the full topic](https://krita-artists.org/t/my-thoughts-on-show-color-selector-feature/3125)._
