Allow suggestion of category colour #50

Open nbossard opened 7 years ago

nbossard commented 7 years ago

Suggestion by mister X : A colour palette to choose colours from for categories. Currently the app sometimes chooses colours that make the text unreadable.

Hello mister X, I have worked in latest release (0.12) to make background always readable by improving color automatic selection. I think this makes selecting color useless, and Iwant to keep usage of software stupid simple.

Although I couldn't agree more with your Simple Usage concept, there are synesthetes who, like me, tend to associate certain colors with words and ideas. Ability to choose specific color would create an easily perceptible combination that could help speed up the packing process later on.

Ok, so where and how would you imagine inserting this feature in existing app for the user?

Technically for now categories are just string attributes of an item, it will be a bit difficult to insert but why not.

Unfortunately I'm a graphic designer with little to no Java or Kotlin knowledge. But I could suggest that you take a look at this app's code here: https://github.com/brarcher/loyalty-card-locker There's a color picking dialog within the item attributes editing full-screen dialog.
