How to implement Accent Colour #527

The demo has an Accent Color selection (similar to that to on MacOS), its not clear how I would implement that for FlatLaf Light/Dark themes in code?

Also, would be great if there was a way to detect accent color set in MacOS settings so it could be matched. Also, I know its only a demo but when I first tried Accent Color I thought it didnt work because I had an Intellij Theme selected and it doesnt work for them, that wasnt clear to me.

The code of the demo is here: https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf/blob/c3b9dc397d97a87bff14b6260db649c0acffd519/flatlaf-demo/src/main/java/com/formdev/flatlaf/demo/DemoFrame.java#L387-L457

Yes, this comes later...

Hmm, the accent buttons are disabled if a IntelliJ theme is active. Wasn't this the case for you? Maybe I should hide them for IntelliJ themes...

Yes they were, but the problem is when I first looked at the Accent colours I already had an IntelliJ theme selected, so I just assumed they were always disabled. it was only by accident that I selected FlatLaf Light and then noticed the accent colours were no longer disabled.

Thanks for your feedback. I've changed the demo in commit 96d4bda6c83bb80b4f581426a45d0c012c530e9f. The accent buttons are not visible only for supported themes.
