ColorRequest

Doesn't work under AmigaOS 4. Simply states cannot find reqtools library rather than calling ReAction.

You have to install the 68k reqtools.library and reqtools.l.main for ColorRequest() to work (AFAIK reqtools is not available in a native OS4 version)

Okay I guess this needs moving to the Wishlist then.

I am not insulting my applications with old 68k requesters.

Does the ListRequest command work this way as well? I haven't tried it tbh so I don't even know what it looks like, but one thing I have noticed from the documentation is that there is no provision to allow the end user to make multiple selections from the list.

No, ListRequest() doesn't require reqtools.library. It's a custom implementation but no, it doesn't use ReAction either

Since posted I've come to use ListRequest and can tell that its a custom effort - hey we are developers we analyse everything and spot the smallest of things - but as far as the user is concerned they'll barely notice the different and it performs the job requested. I could only tell because they buttons are a slightly different height to the AmigaOS4 natives.

As for ColorRequest, I just acquired a suitable color wheel and use ReadPixel to extrapolate the colour no big deal.
