Colour Reference 3.0

2023-06-12に共有


A simple and small colour reference utility intended to be ran as a widget, but can still be ran windowed.

Think I'm mostly done with this app now as of v3.0. I have one more idea but I'll probably take a break before doing it and try and move onto something else in the meantime. I have what I want now to help with my development and learned a lot on the way too, hope this app can be useful to you too.

To add to your tooltray as a widget add the following line to the /appdata/system/startup.lua

change "/filepath/to/Colours.p64" to wherever you save the cart on your system.
I would recommend saving it as /appdata/tooltray/Colours.p64

When ran as window the look of the app can be changed via the hamburger menu. To apply the same level of customisation when ran as a widget you can use the following arguments to do so:

(For the following options, replace # with a number)

example of create_process command with args:

The order of the args does not matter

v3.0

v2.1

v2.0

v1.3

v1.2

v1.1

Chromatic - Change the ordering of the colours to
be more reminiscent of the editors

UseDarkText - Instead of the default way to render
the text colour on light coloured cells, it will
use a single darker colour for all light coloured cells.

Vertical - Rotates the orientation to be vertical

XSize=# - Specify how wide you want the cells to be.
Default value is 9, 2 pixels are added when in BigFont
mode. 9 should be considered the smallest, otherwise
the font won't align.
