Hi Mario,
I tried this tool today and found it very usefull, thanks a lot!
Some feedback after the first iteration over a palette:
- great stuff: Cloning palettes, restoring original values, the improved colour macro (colour-picker-resolved) and the Manager in a new window are really useful and should be integrated into the core as soon as possible.
- new window: there is a typo in the link text “Open the Palette Manager in a new Window” (window).
- background colour: For some previews, background colour seems important to me. My adaptation of the previews (see my demo page) is not the most elegant — I am sure you will find a better way — but it shows what I mean.
- link examples: tiddlywiki.com alone is not a good example, as for many users it will always be shown in the visited variant.
- Plugin contents: You included $:/themes/tiddlywiki/vanilla/base in a modified version. It seems to be an older one. I replaced it with the v5.3.3 theme from tiddlywiki.com and the Save changes button displayed correctly again. – Could you perhaps explain in a few words, what kind of changes in the theme would be necessary?
In my testing and demo page, I apply a CSS hack to ensure better readability of editor buttons. Thus I had to add
to your $:/palettes/preview/tiddler-controls-foreground-selected in order to see the effect of my own hack. – I would not expect the previews to foresee that, of course. But in general I would say: more relevant context makes previews more valuable and reliable.
Alle the best, Thomas
