How to delete stock palettes?

#1

I’m trying to remove the palettes I never use like Contrast (Light) and (Dark). opening the $:/palettes/ContrastDark file and deleting the entry seems to do nothing and I couldn’t find documentation about it.

Deleting custom palettes like this works.

Hi @kitkat

If you open $:/palettes/ContrastDark and use the viewToolbar Info icon 🛈 then the advanced tab, you will see this comes in the core.

  • Deleting will only delete an overridden shadow tiddler if it exists, and the core or shadow tiddler is “restored”

A friendly suggestion is to ask the community here;

“what you want to do”

not the following;

"how to do something you hope ‘will do what you want’ "

I will assume you do not want people to select the pallette in Settings > Appearance > Palette?

  • Do not have $:/palettes/ContrastDark selected as the current palette
  • Open and edit $:/palettes/ContrastDark then remove the tag $:/tags/Palette and save, it will no longer be in the list.

In the question you asked “How to delete stock palettes?” comes without the why.

  • If you were trying to save space you would have to delete a tiddler in the core plugin and this is more difficult and will be changed if you upgrade the wiki.
