zen picker (WIP)

This is a custom color picker Krita plugin. The main goal for this color picker is to add the ability to easily control saturation and value for RGB sliders. Secondary goal is to get light and shadow color based on the main light and the ambient light.

controls

• main/ambient light
  • change color: ctrl + click
  • pick color: click
• local/main_mix/ambient_mix
  • pick color: click
• sliders
  • click + drag

install

i wanted to use rust for part of the project for fun. so there's some extra stuff to do to get it working. (until i figure out how i can prebuild it for major platforms)

• install rust
• cargo install just
• download project zip
• unzip the project
• open project directory zen_picker-main, where you can find the .py files
• open it in the terminal
• run
  • linux: just distribute
  • windows: just --shell powershell.exe --shell-arg -c distribute_win
• install plugin manually
  • in krita, go to: settings > manage resources > open resource folder
  • open the pykrita folder
  • copy the zen_picker.desktop file into pykrita
  • copy the whole zen_picker-main folder into pykrita and rename it to zen_picker

restart krita, zen_picker should be in settings > dockers > zen_picker
