Wonderful what a night's sleep can do!

Uploaded new version of my stack to:

that gets round the silly thing of having to click on a list field
to set the colour and then on a coloured graphic to get the
RGB values . . . mind you my solution, far from being
brilliant, just shows you how sluggish I was last night at
1 o'clock in the morning:

this is the code in the list field that contains the colorNames:

on mouseDown
  get the clickText
  put the clickText into fld "SELECT"
  set the backgroundColor of fld "KNAMES" to the clickText
end mouseDown

on mouseUp
  put the mouseColor into fld "fRGB"
end mouseUp


there is also a button for when the fld "KNAMES" goes black
and you cannot see the colorNames.

I'm off to my vittles!
