Custom Action Colors

Could we get the ability to add custom colors for actions? I use dark mode and Purple looks Blue, Yellow is Gold-ish, Orange is Brown, And Teal/Aqua are hard to distinguish from each other. Maybe implement the Apple Color Wheel or allow us to modify the hex or HSL?

That's a perfectly reasonable request. Of course, all feature requests have to go through the Architect's future-feature list. Some of his filtering rationale include things like:

  • How easy it is to implement;
  • How many people would use the new feature;
  • How many other items are on his existing list of desired future features.

I would agree, and the only reason I've never posted a topic on it here is that it was brought up once, many years back, and there was never any response from Peter:

I'd love it if there were a larger number of available color placeholders, and they could each be customized to the user's choice. Each would have to have a default setting, though, for shared macros: A user who sets their own colors expects those colors to be used, perhaps due to vision issues, but if not, just to respect their preferences.

So if I share a macro with custom colors, then the user's color settings would override what's in my macro. But that makes things difficult as you can't then say something like "In the green box below," because the box may not be green.

The solution to that issue, I guess, would be to make the existing base color selections fixed, and then add additional options which are customizable. But at some point, the color menu gets too long to be usable, so that's a new issue to solve ... I think I see why we have the color selections we have :).

But with all that said, yes, I'd love a solution that let me have more colors, and have those colors be customizable.
