Description

The gtk.ColorButton is a button that displays the currently selected color and, when clicked, opens a gtk.ColorSelectionDialog to change the color. It's a suitable widget for selecting a color in a preference dialog. The gtk.ColorButton is available in PyGTK 2.4 and above.

Constructor

    gtk.ColorButton(color=gtk.gdk.Color(0,0,0))

`color` :	an optional `gtk.gdk.Color` to set the current color with
Returns :	a new color button.

Note

This constructor is available in PyGTK 2.4 and above.

Creates a new color button with the current color set to the color specified by the optional gtk.gdk.Color color. A color button is a small button containing a swatch representing the current selected color. When the button is clicked, a gtk.ColorSelectionDialog will open, allowing the user to select a color. The swatch will be updated to reflect the new color the user selects.
