Appears to have some odd trouble with being used in VS with a dark background, but uninstalling and reinstalling seems to have corrected the problem, so 5 stars!
This extension is awesome. I do a lot of UI work and this is a huge time saver. Beats having to open Photoshop for this type of stuff. Would be nice to have a Visual Studio 2008 version.
Hi,
so my idea was to create a list where you can select wich file types you want devcolor to use.
But currently i'm really busy @ work so it could take a time.
Great tool... thank you. It was good to see that the colour underline also works when editing asp.net web form code-behind files (i am using vb) - as well as normal html and css files.
If we may be so bold we would like to make a request.
When you collapse a method or region of code (in a .vb code-behind file), it underlines the collpased comment-style tag with what appears to be the last mentioned colour in the code.
Is this an intentional feature? Could it possibly become optional if it is?
Again - a great little tool thats speeding things up no end... many thanks for sharing it.
I use your very useful tool in my XAML files. But there are two problems :
* The DarkRed word in this line : <GradientStop Color="DarkRed" Offset="1" /> is not underlined by devColor.
* The red word in this line <!--Title bar red button style--> is underlined by devColor. It's not a big deal, just to notice you.
Let me know if it's a bug and if you are going to fix it.
Just one last question : do you share the source code of devColor? And is there a way to colaborate with you on its development?
Hi,
for matching named colors i have created a list of names and for XAML i don't have extendet it so thats why DarkRed is not underlined. I am going to extend the list of named colors as soon as i got time for it :)
I don't want to share the source code but if you have ideas for new features i will implement them if it i s possible.
regards
Just to clarify, adding text boxes for Hue, Saturation and Luminosity would be great. The Color picker itself is cool - but sometimes you would like to change just the luminosity or hue and that is much harder using RGB...
Check this extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gefgglgjdlddcpcapigheknbacbmmggp Quite well done for a color picker which makes it quite easy to pick different hues and luminosity of colors. Just thought it's worth a look. Love the new changes btw!
Hi, this looks promising! Would be great if XAML files were fully supported as well - with color appearing in a floating window on mouseover or something. Also, support for additional transparency color (e.g. #FF000000) would be neat.
hi Andrjey,
currently i don't have much time to make changes to devColor so it could take a while because i have much to do @ work, but i will implement full support for xaml,
and transparency color. But first i have to finish the implementation for Shorthand Hexcolors and "Replace all occurances".
regards :)
I love this tool when creating style sheets. Every time I am building themes for Silverlight I find myself wishing this tool had full XAML support and added support for transparency. Thanks for creating a great tool.
Version 1.7 does interfere with C# files.
E.g., the comment "// Bugfix #377" gets a color indicator
Code folding of regions and methods sometimes leads to color indicators, too.
Otherwise, a brilliant tool. Thank you!
Hi,
it will show colors in each file of type "text" I forgot to remove it but i will implement a feature where you can decide in which filetypes it should be active or not.
"// Bugfix #377" matches the regular expression i use for finding hex colors. I will implement some features for avoiding that such as "if lines starts with // ignore each or if in front of color code is "Bugfix " ignore it where you can definde this parameters to your self.
If i can get the information if code is outlined i can set that no color indicator is drawn. But i don't know if i get it.
regards
Nice tool, but, shame on me, I'm more interested in C++/C# and I wonder if it is somehow possible to open the color picker window also from the menu or via hot key, especially while editing other source file formats like (*.cpp, *.cs, *.h, ...). It is not necessary to interact with the code in the file but having the possibility of finding the RGB code in the color picker dialog would help a lot in every programming language.
Any idea how this may work?
It's a great colorization extension!
However, I think it shows a little bit to thick on my screen, would you please offer an option to modify the height or thickness of the colored underline? It would be greater if you make it an option! Thanks, anyway!
