Pro 3-2-2 Color Editor suggestion

[jclements]

Display a cross-hatch when the fill or outline is No Color.

This would be consistent with the Color Line display and give more concise information to the user.

Wow this looks great!

I was thinking lately how it would be convenient to have a key that toggles line/fill in the color editor, especially in the situation where the editor is located in the bottom portion of the screen and you have to scroll over all colors swatches to get to the. (the menu open upwards.)

About the color editor, is there no way to dock it the same fashion than galleries?
It is true that a difference between white/no fill would be more consistent in the color editor.

I will have to try this script, thanks for sharing!
