POV-Ray for Windows has multiple major lacks, but I wouldn't consider
this one of them. There are more serious problems.

To the best of my knowledge, the editor colour picker is an integral
part of CodeMax, which is a poor fit for the POV-Ray project, if only
due to the licensing issues, so presumably we won't invest any
noteworthy amount of work into it.

CodeMax is the only editor component the Windows GUI is designed to work
with, and the Windows GUI itself is horribly outdated in itself, so
presumably we won't invest a lot of work into that one either.

If we find the time to do any serious GUI development work, the plan is
to build a new one from scratch, using a portable GUI framework as the
basis (Qt comes to mind).
