Si,
I have always felt the color picker falls short, though it seems to be a
HTML default. My research suggests it already users color names in the
pallet.
- I would like to be able to search for color names in the picker
- or past a color number into the picker I extract from anywhere with an
in browser color picker
- I have a collection of hundreds of color name/numbers which I would
add to this selection
The custom formatting or editing of standard fields is handled inside
javascript as far as I can see. I have found that the following allows you
to edit the color field as text.
<$edit-text tiddler=<<currentTiddler>> field=color type="text"
tag="input"/>
Placing the above in a tiddler tagged $:/tags/EditTemplate will allow you
to edit it as text and use you color names in the editTemplate
Or better use;
<$list filter="[all[current]has:field[color]]" variable=nul>
Color: <$edit-text tiddler=<<currentTiddler>> field=color type="text"
tag="input"/>
</$list>
Of course you could replace or add a this with a select to select from the
valid color names as well. See in $:/core/macros/colour-picker for a list
of color names.
There is room for more research but is this enough for now?
