Hi Andy,

thanks for replying to my message.

Nothing to click? What about the area inside the border, the part that shows the color the control is set to? Incidentally, I just tried clicking on the very center of a bordered color well and it did show the color panel, so it's not true that you have to click on the border to have the panel show up. Besides, the border is rather small and it wouldn't make much sense to require such precise clicking when there's generally a much bigger area the user can click on to get the desired effect.

Hello,

I just found by experimenting with NSColorWell objects that merely setting them borderless in IB disables their ability to show the color selection panel. Looking at the NSColorWell class reference document, the "Choosing Colors With Color Wells and Color Panels" document, and the "Human Interface Design" document, I could not find any mention of that fact.

Why should a control's border affect the control's ability to perform its function? Is that supposed to be a feature, or is it a bug?
