Is it possible to resize the color chooser popup (or its button sizes, etc) by any means (CSS, etc)?
The colour selector dialog is a standard GTK dialog https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/class.ColorChooserDialog.html so it is not controlled by Geany.
In Linux, on 1920x1080 monitor, color chooser popup is ~ 650px x 320px.
- Too big if working in a Geany file & need to leave Color open (vs. re-opening it every few min.).
Repeately dragging it below the panel -- & back up, is wasted time.
There's a good bit wasted space on it's UI; 'Find' window is resizable (to a point), but still too big to leave open, unless Geany is only window open.
Maybe best? long term would be if Color / Find showed under Geany's panel "grouped windows" icon, as in other apps. Tremendously useful.
Color Chooser/ Find have no window controls, so can't minimize & restore when needed (be great).
Color Chooser: entry fields, + / - buttons (for Hue, etc) & color name entry, Apply / Cancel / Select buttons are larger than needed. (Possibly tweak in some Linux theme CSS, but unintended effects on other apps).
- Probably could resize, even move _some_ of those via ~/.config/geany-3.20.CSS, but I'd need each element's *exact* selector name.
You can limit CSS to Geany by using Tools->Configuration Files->geany.css to add your tweaks. I didn't see the usual CSS selector list on the docs linked above, you might need to experiment. Also IIUC different distros show different dialogs for the colour chooser, one sensible, and one too stupidly simple.

- The (currently) selected color's swatch actually needs to be larger; displayed single color is only 70 x 30 px for me. Needs be maybe 70^2 to detect actual shade (not just 'light vs. dark blue').
Thanks.
