[maemo-developers] HildonColorButton / HildonColorChooserDialog in Fremantle

[From: Cornelius Hald]

Thanks for the answer API. I'll try how that looks / works for me.

@Claudio: I think it would be nice to have a color picker widget
directly in Hildon, but I'm not sure how many people/applications really
need it. Still, of course it would be great if someone would create one.
Only it's very unlikely that it's me :/ I would like to, but I just
don't have the time...
