Feature request: Specify color palette in URL

[Avaray]

Passing RGB color for Background as URL variable would be cool.

You can! But it's additive, so bright and light background colors wash out the raindrops...

Hm! I'm surprised by how well that one turned out. 🎃🎃🎃

But honestly, this stinks, no one wants this to be how it works. So I think I should add a color palette URL variable, that'll give you a lot more control. I'll update the title of the ticket to reflect that.

And one day a GUI will make all this a lot more pleasant. 🤞

Planned syntax:

&palette=r,g,b,at,r,g,b,at,r,g,b,at (alias paletteRGB) &paletteHSL=h,s,l,at,h,s,l,at,h,s,l,at Add to config: isPaletteHSL: true

@Avaray All right, I'm calling this one "alphabet soup":

0.5,0.05,0,0, is a tomato soup RGB color at 0% 1,0.7,0,0.8, is medium orange RGB color at 80% 1,1,0.5,1 is a pale yellow RGB color at 100%

https://rezmason.github.io/matrix/?palette=0.5,0.05,0,0,1,0.7,0,0.8,1,1,0.5,1&cursorColor=0,0,0&width=30&animationSpeed=0.2

I liked the Halloween one better. Either way, the palette URL variable has been added, and that's pretty much 100% user controlled colors now. In the readme you'll also see there are HSL (hue, saturation, lightness) variants of all the color settings.

Thanks for being a fan!

Cool, thank you :)
