[Script] Prompt user to select a palette (or use current)

How can I set up a dialog to prompt the user to select a palette from the built-in palettes (and then change the current palette as needed) or allow them to choose to use whatever the current palette is?

the easiest way is to summon app.alert() window

app.alert{
	title = "ALERT",
	text = {
		"Select a palette.",
		"Do it now!"
	} 
}

however that will prevent user to do anything unless they click on a button. if you don’t want that, you’ll have to create your own alert window through dialog()

local dlgAlert = Dialog{ title = "ALERT" } 

dlgAlert 
	:label { text="Select a palette." }
	:newrow()
	:label { text="Do it now!" } 
	:button { 
		text="Close",
		onclick = function()
			dlgAlert:close()
        end 
	}
					
dlgAlert:show{ wait=false }
