Support for custom color palettes? #13

Closed quicknir closed 3 years ago

Is there any way to do this?

mihnita commented 9 years ago

There is no way to do it now, without code changes But nice idea :-)

If you want to tinker with it, the palettes and the palette selection are here: src/mnita/ansiconsole/utils/AnsiConsoleColorPalette.java

The UI for selecting the palette is here: src/mnita/ansiconsole/preferences/AnsiConsolePreferencePage.java

I think the tricky part would be the UI. A whole new dialog to define a palette, and way to import / export palettes, and supporting more than one custom palette, maybe giving them names...

So a full solution will require a bit of work :-)

I looked at what it takes, and there is a lot of complexity for relatively little benefit. Would need a special GUI editor for 16 colors, and then a way to manage the custom palettes (list / add / remove / edit).

It currently supports 8 predefined palettes, I can add more on demand.

So I've decided not to implement custom palettes, sorry.
