FAQ

I have a duplicate preview in the color declaration line in Android Studio. How to fix it?

You can simply disable one of the previews. Go to Settings/Preferences > Editor > General > Gutter Icons and disable "Compose color picker" from "Jetpack compose" section or "Color chooser" from "Compose Color Preview" section

Starting from IDEA 2024.1 colors list order in popup is reversed. Can you fix it?

Unfortunately, no. It's Intellij IDEA Platform bug and the issue is created. So we can only wait for a fix from JetBrains

Hex in color picker have wrong pattern. Can you fix it?

Yes, but it requires a complete rewrite of the color picker popup which is not what I want to do. A request for this feature has been submitted to JetBrains, and we need to wait for a reaction
