Visibone2 Color Swatch

Implemented in Designer so far - the swatch reflow is tricky but this works currently. Also Mac and Windows version behave differently and affinity saves .clr files on Mac rather than .afpalette. This is the best swatch picker pattern by far as in the way it groups hues and tints makes color selection so much easier very glad to have go this to work. This version uses a 20 swatch row length.

Mine looks very different from yours.  Is this how it is supposed to look on Mac?

@drkanukie  Doesn't come out the same way here.  Top row: 20 squares on the left, 19 squares on the right.  Bottom row:  18 squares.  Fewer squares are just a jumble of colors.   Anyway, 20 squares is pretty workable.  Thank you!

Correct, I have found at least one other instance of the swatch panel where the row length varies in the gradient color picker swatch option, there is just no way to combat the places where the row length varies as the swatch only works when its displayed on a specific row length - I picked 20 as that can be set in the color panel as it has a variabe width and its hard coded in the swatch picker in the single color but the gradient uses hard coded 15. Ideally Affinity would use one consistent row size to allow this sort of swatch to work in every swatch selector. There isnt a workaround to have an 15 row version as the swatch requires a 16x16 grid

I had to remodel the swatch to fill a 15x16 grid this swatch is Visibone2G for Gradient picker. As the swatch in the gradient picker is sticky this seems to be a reasonable workaround.

Very reasonable.  Thank you!   Here is what I get on my Mac now.  With Visibone 2G the best alternative is with 16 blocks.  With Visibone2 the best is 18 blocks and the colors are much more scattered.
