Make HSL wheel useful in compositing.
In HSL, 0.5 lightness corresponds to most vibrant colors so make that
default for locked wheels (previous value of 1.0 just made it white).
Also, unlock the wheel for both very bright and very dark colors.
and value/lightness slider stops midway.
Issue here is manyfold:
Color wheel does not support properties with different soft min/max
values than 1.0 (which after experimenting a little I left as is), and
also color management is completely destroying the mapping between the
value slider and the RNA property value range. To solve this I have
disabled color management by setting the property to gamma corrected
(only in RNA, Sequence editor coders please check!), otherwise it will
just become a big mess of tracking where color comes from and what kind
of color transforms it needs in different color pickers (if property has
non normalized range etc). HSL is not really meant to represent colors
outside a normalized space so I have disabled setting lightness above
1.0 in this model.
This will work, however it is hacking a color picker to do something
other than what it is supposed to do: pick a color from the screen
accurately. Which means normalized values always. The non normalized
colors picked for lift/gain/gamma through the pickers do not correspond
to any accurate colors; they are rather a user friendly way to 'sort of'
choose a color and a gamma with an indication of maximum value.
I think that lift/gamma/gain nodes need a dedicated widget for this
(besides it is quite clear that some options are written for that use
case) -or- a separate gamma multiplier for the picked color (which
should itself be in a normalized space)
This is a standard Hue - Saturation - Lightness model
(see for instance entry on wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV)
Note though the difference between HSV and HSL saturation, which are not the same.
The advantage of having this color selection scheme is that artists can select
shades and tints of a color easily by using the lightness slider. Also colors
are arranged on (approximated) perceived lightness on the color wheel.
Beware, Old files opened with this preference saved will crash!

This mitigates T38505, where moving the mouse while using the wheel/keys
can exit the submenu.
So at least smaller unintentional movements won't be misinterpreted.
Previously 1/3 of the button was used to decrement, 1/3 to edit and 1/3 to
increment. However with the number text now right aligned this meant that
the increment area would overlap the number text, which is confusing. So it
was made to smaller to only cover the arrows.
It's not as easy to click but I don't know of a better solution with right
aligned number text.
- swap Z/Y axis so Z changes hue and X/Y change location.
this way you can use ndof like a joystick and Z rotation like a dial
for the hue.
- change sensitivity when shift is held to be 1/5th
On every redraw a single unopened dropdown boxe would translate
and convert every EnumPropertyItem into a string,
then decode every item, and search those items to find the name of the button to draw.
Replace this with a custom menu callback for RNA enums,
tooltips for enums now show too.
COLOR widgets never get created with UI_GRAD_V_ALT values. This is
intended for HSVCUBE color sliders only so reverting this to old value
before it was substituted with a define, which was -1.
There's one case where COLOR buttons get defined with a1 value different
than -1 which is in ui_def_but_rna. There the step value of the RNA
property is used. However, that meant that if step equaled to 9, which
is UI_GRAD_V_ALT value (unlikely) or if UI_GRAD_V_ALT was changed to 10
in future, or we added check for e.g. UI_GRAD_L_ALT which is 10 in HCL
branch, color widget would not get a color selection menu spawned.
Adds some padding to the left of the icon, adds more space around the separator
line and make it more visible, and add some spacing at the top and bottom of
the menu. Ref T37794

Was using a different font size with selection and drawing,
But scaling both so they mostly matched.
This made selection shift noticeably when done on an interface zoomed in/out.
- works by defining panel categories, currently restricted to the toolbar.
- no panels define bl_categories yet, so no user visible changes since tabs only show when there are multiple.
- panel pinning is available in rmb menu or alt+lmb.
Patch by Brecht, with minor edits by myself, thanks a lot!
Tech details: previous drag-resize handling code was based on the assumption that coords
returned by ui_window_to_block() was relative to the bottom on the uiBlock.
This is in fact completly eroneous, usually this func does not translate at all the coords,
it merely rescale them - except for blocks inside panels, where returned values are relative
to the left/bottom corner of the panel... Pretty confusing, solution for now is to store ref mouse
position in window space, and convert them to block each time, just like current mouse pos.
