color-selector.mov

The latest addition to <https://github.com/kirill-grouchnikov/aurora|Aurora> - color selector button. The functionality includes:

1. Dynamic / live preview as the mouse moves over color cells in the dropdown
2. Single row color section, multi-row color section with derived colors
3. Recents color section sorted by most-recently used
4. Support for additional commands. In this example, the top row is wired to select / preview a default dark grey color, and the bottom row is wired to show Swing’s `JColorChooser` and process the selected AWT color on the Compose side


The code behind this demo <https://github.com/kirill-grouchnikov/aurora/blob/icicle/demo/src/desktopMain/kotlin/org/pushingpixels/aurora/demo/AuroraColorSelectorDemo.kt|is available here>

I looked at Aurora, but I had trouble understanding the different architecture behind it. I assumed it would be 'just' Compose components, but now there are Projections and Commands. I haven't looked to deeply into it, but to me it sounds like I need to add another layer, whereas I hoped to just use Composables.
But maybe I misunderstand.

The approach behind it is documented in the links available from the main readme file
