FR: Add color preview in css - Page 2

As for the clipboard itself, adding a Pyperclip would probably solve the problem.

I should be able to fix it for all platforms. I'll probably need to subclass QColorDialog so I can override the accept/reject routines (as well as force Qt's cross-platform color chooser rather than Linux and macOS built-in ones). Stay tuned.

If only there was a box where a colour name i.e. rebeccapurple could be typed...

For a different program, that was a request for it's colour picker which the creator responded to by suggesting just typing the name in the CSS if you wanted a named colour.

I think I'm close to having something that will work for both Linux and Windows (and hopefully macOS). Writing stuff to the system clipboard on Linux with Qt is a huge pain in the butt. It's mostly intended to work from within a gui MainWindow where buttons will be used to copy/paste the clipboard content while the gui continues to run. Linux requires a running QApplication event loop to manipulate the system clipboard, while Windows does not.

I think I have it working on Windows and Linux. New icon, custom colors are preserved to and from preferences.
