[TW5] how do i change the default background color used by new tags created "on-the-fly" ?

[ch]

hi,

i need you're help how to do as subject says, i.e. for example when i add a new tag on a tiddler that has not been used before (the tag, i mean) - i call them "on-the-fly" tags, because the tags themself don't have a tiddler at start - you have to set a color in the tag manager - then the tag is created as a tiddler, at least this is how i have observed how it seems to work... :-) however, i don't want the "tag tiddler" to be created (there is going to be so many of them...), i just want the background color to be different than that "brown-orange" color, set as default by TW5.

i would like the background color to be, say "black" - i.e. the tag will have "white text on black background"

- how do i accomplish that?

thanks for a great community! :-) tiddlywiki is great!

Hi ch,

Just go with the tag tiddlers, it will save you a lot of pain in the future and you'll see they are extremely handy.

If you just want a different default color:  Open the ControlPanel: Appearence: Palette:   and search for: tag-background  You'll be able to set the default color there. You'll need to scroll down quite a bit ;)

have fun!
