I experimented with rendering the color pickers in an overlay, instead of sliding them down :).
Which one do you prefer?

I think the old version's better too. I'd rather have it open downward in an accordion flow and keep other elements visible by scrolling than overlay stuff with a popup.
Gotcha! When I implemented the sliding back in the days that was exactly my motivation 😅.
The issue that I noticed more and more while working with it is that it gets very disorientating when settings keep sliding around 🙈. Plus its hard for a second person watching you on the screen, to follow your actions.
It seems as if both approaches kinda target two very different situations 🤔:
- Sliding: Slow, methodic, thinking, focused users
- Overlay: Quick, creative, designing users and demonstrations
