Here is a palette cycle button I found in the google group sometime back (Don't remember the creators name, might be Mohammed). Can such a pagecontrol button be used to cycle through different colour schemes of the capaivate theme.

I've looked into how cycle-palettes works. The button cycles through all palettes tagged with $:/tags/Palette.

What you can do is to choose (i.e. activate) a particular color scheme via Captivate Theme Tweaks section in the Control Panel. The action will re-generate the $:/palettes/Captivate(Dark,Light,Tan) palettes for the given color scheme. Clone any captivate palette ($:/palettes/CaptivateDark, $:/palettes/CaptivateLight, $:/palettes/CaptivateTan) that you'd like to cycle through . Make sure the names of the cloned palettes do NOT contain any space characters.

Repeat the above process for another color scheme.

My doubt was how to cycle through different color schemes using a cycle button after setting Captivate light or tan or dark palette

What you can do is to choose (i.e. activate) a particular color scheme via Captivate Theme Tweaks section in the Control Panel. The action will re-generate the $:/palettes/Captivate(Dark,Light,Tan) palettes for the given color scheme. Clone any captivate palette ($:/palettes/CaptivateDark, $:/palettes/CaptivateLight, $:/palettes/CaptivateTan) that you'd like to cycle through . Make sure the names of the cloned palettes do NOT contain any space characters.

I will try this out.

\whitespace trim
\define cycle-palettes()
<$set name=pals filter="[all[tiddlers+shadows]prefix[$:/palettes/Captivate]]">
<$action-listops $tiddler="$:/palette" $field="text" $subfilter="+[cycle<pals>]"/>
</$set>
\end

\define cycle-captivate-palette-button()
<$wikify name=tooltip text={{$:/language/Buttons/CyclePalettes/Hint}}>
<$button actions=<<cycle-palettes>> 
 tooltip=<<tooltip>>
 aria-label={{$:/language/Buttons/CyclePalettes/Caption}}
 class=<<tv-config-toolbar-class>> >
<$list filter="[<tv-config-toolbar-icons>match[yes]]">
{{$:/images/svg-icon/paintcan}}
</$list>
<$list filter="[<tv-config-toolbar-text>match[yes]]">
<span class="tc-btn-text"><$text text={{$:/language/Buttons/CyclePalettes/Caption}}/></span>
</$list>
</$button>
</$wikify>
\end

I am using this code to cycle through captivate palettes after setting a particular colour scheme. Is there a way to cycle through different colour schemes after setting a particular captivate palette ?
