Bug Description

Beginning with microsoft windows in the 1990 years, PC users have been accustomed to a simple interface for assign some rendering options.... display an example model, click on the part of the model to 'do something'. Simple and efficient.

Please remove this bunch of menus and submenus and add an interactive panel when asked to configure.
Use that gigantic color chooser panel elsewhere : preparing user defined colors if really the red is not your exact favorite lipstick ;)

The model is under our eyes. Just let us click on it to tweak it.

@Franck, please be more precise in your bug reports. I had to read this a few times before I completely understood what you were asking for. The request should have been "Replace individual color setting menu entries in 3D viewer with a color chooser dialog similar to the Eeschema "Preferences" dialog "Colors" panel." I'm sure you mean well but please do not write multiple paragraphs to describe a simple bug or feature request. I'm incredibly busy and my time is precious. I suspect the other members of KiCad development team feel the same way. If you want us to take your requests seriously, you should try to create reports that are as easy as possible to parse.
