Changing the colors of tagged tiddlers

[Steven Schneider]

...I don't often write things that the group might find useful (I'm a taker here, not as much a giver). But today, I wrote a quick utility to check/change the colors of tagged tiddlers to match the tiddler to which they are tagged.  Might be helpful for those who use colors to differentiate different types of tags. Hard-coded to check tiddlers tagged with "Dimensions" now, but easy to change. 

Enjoy!

<!--get list of dimensions-->

Dimensions: <$select tiddler='$:/generated-list-selected-dimension'>

<$list filter='[tag[Dimensions]]'>

<option value=<<currentTiddler>>><$view field='title'/></option>

</$list>

</$select>

<!-- get the color of a tag for a tiddler -->

<$list filter="[title{$:/generated-list-selected-dimension}]">

<$macrocall $name="tag" tag={{$:/generated-list-selected-dimension}}/><br>

<$set name="color" value={{!!color}}>

<!--get all the tiddlers tagged-->

<$list filter="[tag{!!title}]">

<$macrocall $name="tag" tag=<<currentTiddler>>/>

<$button>change the color

<$action-setfield color=<<color>> /> </$button><br>

</$list>

Hi Steve,

Useful stuff.

For ColoresLinksPlugin for TW Classic I implemented it once so that
tiddlers would automatically be shown in the color of the first tag.

Some polishing for your example:

<$vars categories="[tag[TableOfContents]]">

<$select tiddler='$:/temp/set-tag-color'>

<$list filter=<<categories>>>

<option value=<<currentTiddler>>><$view field='title'/></option>

</$list>

</$select>

</$vars>

<$list filter="[{$:/temp/set-tag-color}]">

<$vars color={{!!color}}>

<!--set all of category-->

<$button>change all tagged:

<$list filter="[tag{$:/temp/set-tag-color}]">

<$action-setfield color=<<color>> />

</$list>

</$button>

<$edit field="color"/>

<$macrocall $name="tag" tag={{$:/temp/set-tag-color}}/>

<br><br>

<!--get all the tiddlers tagged-->

<$list filter="[tag{!!title}]">

<$button>change color for:

<$action-setfield color=<<color>> /> </$button>

<$edit field="color"/>

<$macrocall $name="tag" tag=<<currentTiddler>>/>

<br>

</$list>

</$vars>

</$list>

Best wishes,

Tobias.
