Yes I've done it.
I copied to my work directory the files
qcolordialog.cpp
qcolordialog.h
qdialog_p.h
created a subdirectory named private and copy there the files
qobject_p.h qwidget_p.h

after that I only need to change the qcolordialog.cpp source and everthing seems to be working fine.

I would have thought that it should be possible to change those thinks. The Qt developers didn't seem to agree with me, and complaining about a free thing is nonsense.

Many thanks,

Why did you need to change it anyway?

I don't need it! I want it. I intend to use the custom color mecanism, and the facilities associated with it. Then I use the color dialog as a tool to choose a discret color patern table (user made) through the custom color mechanism.
So instead of "add to custom color" I want "accept as labels colors" and instead of "custom colors" I want "labels colors" and for the windows title I obviously want "labels colors". As you see nothing important. No extra functionality, only more user friendness.

You could still have used the i18n mechanism to avoid re-coding QColorDialog.

Oh, and about the "complaining about a free thing is nonsense" part, you can report bugs here:

It's just that this is not a bug, and Trolltech will probably not implement a new feature if you're the only one asking for it.
