I've created a Wiki page where developers can add their apps that
are using Hildon-Extras:

  http://wiki.maemo.org/Hildon-Extras

Do you think we can come up with a "widget gallery" on the wiki
page that describes each widget and shows a screenshot? This
can really help developers to decide if they want to use HE and
which widgets from it they might find useful.

I'm using HeSimpleColorDialog myself in MaePad, and Graham said
that he would use it too (don't know if he does already). If you do a
HeColorButton, please also do a variant that can be used as a toolbar
button (I'd use that in MaePad, too).

Do you mean merging both color dialogs into one "configurable" dialog?
