Re: [PATCH] Fix layer color swatches in Linux

 

My only issue with this change is that the tooltip letting the user know
that a left button double click or a middle button click would allow
them to change the color is gone.  Other than that, it looks great.  I
like the use of Bind instead of Connect.  Bind has a much cleaner
interface than Connect and according to the wx folks is the proper way
to handle events.
