If I press format -> text color, then it's only a palette of 7x10 colours. I think that there should also be a full 24bit palette. BTW, why isn't the inline colour selector next to the typeface dropdown functional?

reassigning to cmanske. You can enter a 24 bit color in the edit field below the palette as a workaround.

Yes, we would like to change to a more sophisticated colorpicker that would access OS-specific colorpickers. The colorpicker "buttons" (swatches) on the toolbar should work - file a separate bug if they do not.

I also think that the "GIMP triangle" is a better colour selector, making it easier to quickly find a desired colour. It was said to be part of GTK 2. As for the toolbar colour picker, yes it works now.

I wish I had time to do this soon, but probably not for 1.2.

For default palette, some from Open Colour Systems Collection could be chosen: http://freecolour.org/
