Hi All

Many years ago I created a custom palette in inkscape where when my mouse hovered over a colour, a label would appear. ie a number or letter. This was a GPL file which was copied into the inkscapes directory. I am now using Affinity but need to recreate this project. Is their a way of doing this?

I appreciate I can create a swatch from a document and make it an application file but it is the labels that are bugging me.

Many thanks

Alan

The Affinity interface has this feature build-in: holding the cursor (any) over a colour swatch in the Swatches Panel will make the label pop up.

It displays the name of the swatch which you can edit via right-click on the swatch.

Maybe you need to shorten the pop-up delay. App Preferences > User Interface > …
