It seems for `GtkColorChooser`, this [is implemented](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/blob/gtk-3-24/gtk/gtkcolorplane.c) with rendering calls to Cairo. It doesn't look too bad, but certainly less trivial than using an existing widget. Not sure how easy...
It looks like with [keyboard-color-chooser](https://github.com/ahoneybun/keyboard-color-chooser) (and thus presumably the underlying kernel API), setting the color to black does have the effect of turning off the backlight, and setting to between...
Currently, the UI mockup shows setting only one color. So this raises a few questions, after trying to implement the first part of this (https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power/pull/177): * As mentioned by @WatchMkr...
For an external keyboard, it seems to me it might be nice if plugging it in automatically disables the builtin keyboard's backlight and sets the color and brightness of the...
It doesn't seem to do anything when a keyboard is plugged in; the brightness stays the same. But that's given the external keyboard doesn't have a backlight that would be...
It looks like the `up_kbd_backlight_find()` function [in UPower](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/upower/-/blob/master/src/up-kbd-backlight.c) just selects the first device it finds with a keyboard backlight. So with two keyboards, I believe Gnome Control Center would have...
It may be difficult to get a user-friendly name for each device (though we can do something for our own hardware, at least). Which is awkward... I'm not really sure...
UPower doesn't have an interface for controlling the color of the backlight. There doesn't really seem to be a standard way to do that. Manufacturers of RGB peripherals and components...
And then there's the question of what we want to persists across reboots. I assume the list of colors is persisted. Should the color and brightness be persisted across reboots?...
Current implementation:  It works, for changing the backlight color and for adding and removing colors. Some of the styling could use a bit of work, and...
