Please feel free to do so.

Note that when you pull on this thread, you seem to get a large ball of string (a good thing IMHO ;^).


Some notes:

[a] At this point you need to #require: the Feature

  Feature require: #'Morphic-ColorEditor'.

so [b] The TerseGuide should have a page on Features.

one example of Feature use for 'autoload' is the class side code:
  	ColorPallet useCSS3ColorDict.

[c] ColorEditoPanel and ColorPallet instances are available from the World Menu:
   World > New Morph > ColorEditor >

[d] This can lead to explain how one adds initialized Morphs to the New Morph menu.

[e] Selecting and dropping colors on Morphs makes the ColorEditor much more useful

Using 
   World > New Morph > Basic > Ellipse

One can select (command click) the EllipseMorph.  Then select the  EllipseMorph's Menu item
  > show drop target for me

Drag a color from either a ColorPallet or the ColorEditor to the DropTarget and select a color setter (perhaps #color:).

You can move or close the DropTarget too see the underlying EllipseMorph better.

Clicking on the DropTarget's gear icon shows the target morph's halo/handles.

So now [f] you have/need a description of Morph selection and halo/handles.

In particular Morph menu: [d] debug.. > inspect | explore

and possibly
	MorphMenu > edit my LayoutSpec

Which leads to a description of LayoutSpec and LayoutMorph

Enough for now?  ;^)

Cheers,
