The C++ Color Picker class can also be reused in other programs.
Original Plugin was abandoned.
QuickColorPicker 2.2.1.1 and newer requires Notepad++ 8.4.6 or newer.
Newer versions of Notepad++ use SC_TECHNOLOGY_DIRECTWRITE
which causes the inline color underlines to not display. If you have a
scripting plugin, you can disable SC_TECHNOLOGY_DIRECTWRITE for the buffer
with QuickColorPicker manually.
editor.setTechnology(TECHNOLOGY.DEFAULT)
SCI_SENDMSG SCI_SETTECHNOLOGY SC_TECHNOLOGY_DEFAULT
