XF 1.0 Playing With Color

In a previous video, we looked at various style property options and also touched briefly on the XenForo color palette.

The color palette is an integral part of the style property system, and so it is open and extensible, allowing interaction and extension through the add-on system.

This video shows an add-on defining a new color and adding it to the global palette, and then shows a few of the tools XenForo provides for quickly and easily manipulating the palette, so that administrators can create the basis for new styles in seconds.

Um....Question? Can I edit the colors INDIVIDUALLY? Or is it only by toggle?

Otherwise, awesome feature! :)

I believe you can set the whole "section" like the Primary colours or Secondary colours, then within those sections you can individually set each colour as well, making it very flexible. For example if you like the over all colour swatch of (say) blue you have chosen as your Primary colour, but one individual colour within that is not quite to your liking you can change that one colour. Same with the Secondary colours and text colours etc.

Hmm... with a changes log and stepped reversion capability? XF 2.o?
 
Holy crap. I didn't think you'd still find colors that are just horrible to look at.

On a serious note: That's just too easy. Can you please add some confirmation dialogs and maybe make the slider have some resistance? :p

I really like this... yet another thing for me to spend longer than I should playing with when XF is released.
