What and why

The Color panel table of the published default keyboard shortcuts page (Default keyboard shortcuts) says that a double-click to the right of a number field switches RGB values between percent and 0 to 255. VectorCraft's Color panel had no such switch.

What changes:

  • In RGB mode, each of the R, G and B rows has a cell right of its field. A double-click on the cell switches all three fields and sliders between 0 to 255 and percent (0 to 100 with a % suffix, as the CMYK fields show). The color does not change. A typed percent converts back (50% is 127.5 of 255), and a slider click picks a whole percent. Web Safe RGB, the hex field and the other modes keep their units.
  • The page gives only where to double-click. The cell is VectorCraft's own: it is blank, it is highlighted under the pointer, and it takes no keyboard focus, so Tab does not stop on it. While a mixed selection disables the rows, a double-click on the cell does nothing.
  • Existing behavior changes in one place: in RGB mode the sliders are narrower by the cell's width and spacing, so an RGB row is as wide as a row in the other modes and Tint.
  • ui.colorPanel takes rgbPercent: bool and answers it, and the double-click switches the same setting. The setting is off by default and is kept with the preferences (ui.color_rgb_percent). A saved value that is not true or false reads as off.
  • Toggle RGB Percent (ui.colorRgbPercent) switches the same setting from the keyboard: the command palette lists it, and Keyboard Shortcuts takes a key for it (no default key). It answers true when the fields show in percent; a parameter answers an error and changes nothing. Its label has a row in every complete catalog. The Color panel menu is unchanged.
  • The color mixer in the popovers of the Fill and Stroke chips (Control bar and Properties panel) and the gradient stop dialog show the Color panel's rows and follow the same setting.
  • The params text, docs/mcp.md and docs/control-protocol.md describe rgbPercent, and docs/target-app-parity.md has one line for it.

How it was tested

Four new tests in panels::color::tests (vectorcraft-ui-egui). Each one fails with the part of the change it covers removed:

  • rgb_percent_switches_the_rgb_fields_between_percent_and_0_to_255 checks the command, the fields and sliders in percent, a typed percent, a slider click (33%), the double-click switch, that Tab never stops on a cell, that only RGB rows have cells, and the slider widths in a 400 px and a 150 px wide panel.
  • rgb_percent_does_not_switch_while_the_rows_are_disabled checks a double-click with a mixed selection, then with one color.
  • rgb_percent_comes_back_after_a_restart checks the saved setting, a state saved before the setting existed, saved values that are not true or false, and the command's error for such values.
  • toggle_rgb_percent_switches_the_units_from_the_keyboard checks the palette and Keyboard Shortcuts entries, two switches, that the color does not change, and the errors for object and non-object parameters.

Focused checks on the head, on Linux (x86-64) with Rust 1.99.1:

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo clippy -p vectorcraft-ui-egui -p vectorcraft-mcp --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • cargo test -p vectorcraft-ui-egui --lib panels::color: 48 passed, 0 failed.
  • cargo xtask brands, layers and assets.

On the head merged with main at a15a4ab:

  • cargo check --workspace --tests
  • cargo test -p vectorcraft-ui-egui -p vectorcraft-mcp --no-fail-fast: 4,391 passed, 1 failed, 2 ignored. The failure is canvas::panes::tests::tiled_documents_fit_their_panes_at_every_ui_scaling (Texture "canvas" has size 9982x9925, but the maximum texture side is 8192), in canvas code this branch does not change. It passed when run alone on the same tree.

On d3375c165, which adds Toggle RGB Percent:

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check, cargo check --workspace --tests and cargo xtask ui-commands --check
  • cargo clippy -p vectorcraft-ui-egui -p vectorcraft-mcp --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • cargo test -p vectorcraft-ui-egui --lib -- panels::color i18n:: shortcut_editor palette menus::tests: 252 passed, 0 failed.

git merge-tree reports no conflicts with main at a15a4ab, or with #6447, which also changes panels/color.rs, panels/color/tests.rs and state.rs. d3375c165 also merges cleanly with main at b4505a7.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Display RGB fields as percentages or values from 0 to 255. Double-click beside an RGB field, or use the command palette or keyboard shortcut, to switch formats without changing the color.
    • The preference is saved and applies to Fill and Stroke color mixers and the gradient stop dialog. Web Safe RGB and hex remain on the 0–255 scale.
    • The color panel reports the selected display format.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Invalid parameters for the RGB display toggle return an error without changing the setting.

…and 0 to 255

In RGB mode a double-click in the cell right of the R, G or B field
switches all three fields and sliders between 0 to 255 and percent (0 to
100 with a % suffix, as the CMYK fields show). The color does not change;
a typed percent converts back (50% is 127.5 of 255) and a slider click
picks a whole percent. Web Safe RGB, the hex field and the other modes
keep their units.

Only RGB rows have the cell. It is blank, is highlighted under the
pointer, and takes no keyboard focus, so Tab does not stop on it. The
RGB sliders are narrower by the cell's width and spacing, so an RGB row
is as wide as a row in the other modes and Tint, in a narrow panel too.
While a mixed selection disables the rows, a double-click on the cell
does nothing, as the fields beside it take no input.

The double-click runs ui.colorPanel {rgbPercent}, which takes a bool and
answers it. The setting is off by default and is kept with the
preferences (ui.color_rgb_percent); a saved value that is not true or
false reads as off. The color mixer in the Fill and Stroke chips'
popovers (Control bar and Properties panel) and the gradient stop dialog
show the same rows and follow the same setting.

Walkthrough

The color panel adds a saved option to display RGB fields as percentages or values from 0 to 255. Commands expose the setting and toggle. The panel supports percentage entry, slider adjustment, and double-click toggling.

Changes: RGB Percentage Display

Layer / File(s) Summary
Command and preference setting
crates/ui-egui/src/panels/color.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/state.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/menus/run.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/menus/ui_commands.rs, crates/mcp/src/ui_catalog.rs, docs/control-protocol.md, docs/mcp.md
ui.colorPanel accepts and returns rgbPercent. The new ui.colorRgbPercent command toggles the setting. The preference defaults to false and is persisted. Command routing and documentation describe the setting and its behavior.
RGB field display and interaction
crates/ui-egui/src/panels/color.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/panels/color/tests.rs, docs/target-app-parity.md
RGB fields and sliders support percentage values. Double-clicking the adjacent cell toggles units when the RGB rows are enabled. Tests cover input, unchanged color during display toggles, other color modes, and mixed selections.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Possibly related issues

  • storytold/vectorcraft#6460: This change adds rgbPercent to the MCP catalog and updates related documentation, but does not address the wider command-list gap described in the issue.

Suggested reviewers: aiongg, thisisgomaa, bflatastic

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to b1a3e

The RGB percent toggle can now be reached from the command palette and Keyboard Shortcuts as well as by double-clicking the cell. I found no remaining merge-blocking concerns in this change.

Explanation

The title names the main change: a double-click on the cell beside an RGB field switches the fields between percent and 0 to 255. The raw summary, objectives, and description all describe this as the central feature, and the title matches it.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has the What and why, How it was tested, and Checklist sections. The What and why section explains the RGB Percent double-click toggle, the new ui.colorRgbPercent command, the rgbPercent parameter on ui.colorPanel, the persisted setting, and the docs changes. The How it was tested section lists four new tests, focused fmt, clippy and test runs, one failing canvas test on the merged tree with a stated reason, and a CI run link. The checklist items are all ticked. Minor gaps: the description reports a CI run on b1a3ec4, but the objectives mention commit 74235d8 and a pending gate on d3375c1, so the tested commit is not clear. The description also does not mention the ASSETS.md check beyond ticking it.

Approved and green, but main has since changed crates/mcp/src/ui_catalog.rs, so this CI run predates it. Could you rebase so CI runs on current main? It'll go in once that run is green.

The double-click right of an RGB field was the only way to switch R, G and B
between percent and 0 to 255 from the UI. ui.colorRgbPercent (Toggle RGB
Percent) is listed in the command palette and in Keyboard Shortcuts without a
default key, and switches the same setting. A parameter answers an error and
changes nothing. The label has a row in every complete catalog.
