Major Update for the Color Chooser Gadget

I rewrote the color chooser gadget in actionscript/flex and added new features that allow users to more easily find the colors they want. Now instead of just having sliders for RGB, you can point to the color you want or use the HSV and RGB sliders.

    I really like the new color changer, but (even though you appear to have ten choices) I don’t know how to “load” it to actually change the color of my fish?

    Hi Sheila,

    I’m working on some customization pages that will allow you to choose colors for the gadgets before you add them to iGoogle.

    In the meantime, this is how to get to the settings of the gadget in iGoogle:

    You can copy the color code from the color chooser and paste it into one of the custom color textboxes and then select the custom color from one of the dropdowns.
