Where can I find alternative colour / color palettes?

[Dave]

Is there a repository somewhere of TW5 examples that have more colour palettes to drag into an existing TW5?

I did look at all the examples at tiddlywiki.com already, and I searched for "TW5 color / colour palettes" and "TW5 themes", but I'm not finding much.

Are there no such resources and I should just learn how to tweak existing palettes?

More specifically, I'm trying to modify the "Dark Photos" palette.  When you click on a <<tag someTag>> button that's showing in the sidebar, the coloring is such that you can barely see the text on its background.  (its just fine when you click to view in the normal tiddler text area - its just when its in the sidebar)

When I look at all the "sidebar" items in the color editor, none of the existing colors match what I'm seeing.

[Dave]

nevermind, I found it - it was dropdown-background


Just wondering out loud: is there some geeky plugin that allows you to inspect a certain part of tiddlywiki to figure out what its called so you can modify it?

Interestingly enough, Jeremy Ruston has recently posted about just such a proposed feature, here.

Hi Dave

> Just wondering out loud: is there some geeky plugin that allows you to inspect a certain part of tiddlywiki to figure out what its called so you can modify it?

A great help for figuring out the HTML structure so that you can apply CSS styles is to use the browsers built in developer tools. Just right-click on the element of interest and select “Inspect element” from the menu.

(The internal exploration tool I released yesterday was for exploring the internal widget and parse trees, not the browser DOM tree).

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Thank you Jeremy.  I didn't think of that.  I'm not a programmer at all so I appreciate learning about these things that probably many here take for granted (although I probably should have thought of that anyway - I have seen that before right clicking in the browser)

I keep hoping to stumble across a treasure chest of palettes myself, Dave.  ;)

One of the items on my "someday" list for TiddlyWiki is sitting down and making several based around some common background images I've been using.  I've also thought about going back to some of my favorite TiddlyWiki Classic themes and adapting a couple of color palettes from there.

Someday ... .

Yeah, I like the idea of taking a nice photo or other image and using one of those websites where it extracts a color palette based on that and use those colors for a theme (somehow)
