+    Since version 2.6, GTK+ provides the <link linkend="GtkColorButton">GtkColorButton</link>
+    widget as a replacement for the GnomeColorPicker widget in the libgnomeui library.

+  <para>
+   Porting an application from GnomeColorPicker to <link linkend="GtkColorButton">GtkColorButton</link>
+   is very simple. <link linkend="GtkColorButton">GtkColorButton</link> doesn't support dithering
+   (since it is rarely needed on modern hardware), and it doesn't have setters and getters to set the 
+   color from floating point or integer components. So instead of
+   <informalexample><programlisting>
+   guint red, green, blue, alpha;
+   /* ... */
+   gnome_color_picker_set_i8 (color_picker, red, green, blue, alpha);
+   </programlisting></informalexample>   
+   you have to write
+   <informalexample><programlisting>
+   GdkColor color;
+
+   color.red = red << 8;
+   color.green = green << 8;
+   color.blue = blue << 8;
+   gtk_color_button_set_color (color_picker, &color);
+   gtk_color_button_set_alpha (color_picker, alpha << 8);
+   </programlisting></informalexample>   
+  and similarly for the setters taking other number formats. For gnome_color_picker_set_i16() no conversion
+  is needed, for gome_color_picker_set_d(), you need to convert the color components like this:
+   <informalexample><programlisting>  
+   color.red = (guint16) (red * 65535.0 + 0.5);
+   color.green = (guint16) (green * 65535.0 + 0.5);
+   color.blue = (guint16) (blue * 65535.0 + 0.5);
+   </programlisting></informalexample>   
+  </para>
