I use KDE Plasma, and much prefer the KDE color picker over the GTK one that Firefox uses, with input type=color.

I know that I can set GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 to make Firefox use the native file picker, is there a way to make it use the native color picker as well?

I know there probably isn't a way, but I figured it's worth a shot asking.

But why would I go to Windows, if KDE has the same colour picker? Literally an argument for me staying is that the colour picker is identical, so not worth switching for the colour picker (which I really don't care about when it comes to choosing a desktop).

All I wanted was to see if anyone knew of a way to allow Firefox to use my desktop environment's colour picker. I don't care if the design is "stolen" from Windows, and I doubt Microsoft cares either. You really have picked a very obscure, and rather stupid hill to die on.

Sorry for being harsh, I'm just frustrated that the discussion here is about KDE's colour picker design, and not about customising Firefox, which is what I asked about.
