Colour Pick IE vs Chrome

Hi All

 

I have just installed GXE 4.6.2 and HTML5 2.7.1 and have a question regarding the colour picker for dynamic symbolisation and labelling.

 

There seems to be some differences in the picker tools/option between IE and Chrome.

 

In Chrome there is a button which triggers a window thats gives the users the ability to define their colour choice

 

 

Whilst IE only gives the user a choice of 7 or so colour options via a radio button

 

 

Is there a way to force the IE browser to user the option that is offered through Chrome?  whilst the Chrome option is much nicer and would be the genreal browser for our external users. Unfortunately our internal staff only have access to IE. I have tried to find where this is triggered without any success.

 

Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated

  Hi Chris,

   

  The color picker currently used by dynamic symbolization is the native color picker provided by the user's web browser. Unfortunately IE does not provide this feature, and we have to use a fallback in this browser.

   

  In GVH 2.8 we will be replacing this solution with a new color picker that will provide consistent support across all supported browsers.

  Thanks Jonathan

   

  In the short term, is there a way to add to or change these colours in IE?

   

  Cheers

  Hi Johnathan

   

  Just following up on this again.  The colour picks that IE display seem to be completely random and inconsistent.  Is there anyway in the Desktop.js file or even the .css file where I can force a set of colours to be used?

   

  We are only just now looking at deploying the 2.7.1 version to our Production environment, so even if 2.8 (with the enhanced colur picker) is available before the end of the year we wont be in a position to immediately deploy it.  So if there is an interim solution to define a set of colours for the IE browser to pick up on, so that we can at least release the eagerly awaited dynamic labeling and symbolisation option, i would appreciate any solutoinyou might have.

   

  Cheers
