The problem with using the <<color>> macro as a parameter value in the
<$vars> widget is that the macro doesn't return a color value directly.
Instead, it returns transclusion widgets that, if subsequently rendered,
results in a color value. Here's the core definitions (from
$:/core/macros/CSS):
\define colour(name)
<$transclude tiddler={{$:/palette}} index="$name$"><$transclude tiddler="$:/
palettes/Vanilla" index="$name$"/></$transclude>
\end
\define color(name)
<<colour $name$>>
\end
To retrieve the actual color *value*, you can use the <$wikify> widget,
which "captures" the rendered output from the macro and stores that in a
variable, like this:
<$wikify name="_c" text=<<colour tiddler-background>>><<cn>></$wikify>
Note: in this example, "tiddler-background" produces "invisible" text,
since the foreground text color is the same as the background tiddler
color. I assume that was your intention.
Let me know how it goes.
