Here's an updated mock-up:

http://thpinfo.com/2009/maemo/colorchooser2.py

Some remarks:

 * Added pure black and white as suggested by Graham
 * One slot is free (when the current setting is a custom color that is
   not in the palette, the slot will be taken by that color and pre-selected)
 * HildonPickerButton for selecting a pre-set (or application-set)
   palette - this would change the displayed colors except the last
   column, so we always have black, white and the "custom" color

Anyone wants to do a mock-up for the advanced color chooser dialog?
Or propose "default" color palettes? (If we are going to use something
like the current mock-ups, we have 3x6 = 18 colors per palette and then
black and white and the custom color that appears in every palette...)

Also, do we want to have the dialog relayout itself for portrait mode?
