More color text options
« on: August 05, 2016, 11:31:55 pm »
I kinda think we need more color choices for our text. I know that you can basically go to a site and find a color you like and you can input it here and it will work, but it is kind of a hassle to keep having to type it in manually. And I just think it would be nice to have more choices. :3

I agree, It would be nice if they could put maybe like more light colors, and more darker colors. Such as light blue, or Neon green.

Quite an interesting idea. Using hex codes or making your own colour would also be a neat idea, though I can't quite imagine the amount of coding to do that. I'd be fine with just inputting a hex code.

Though I personally don't use the dropdown menu and prefer just typing out the whole code by hand, I can see how this would be useful to users who do. Interesting idea!

I'm currently content with typin' in the hex codes or color names, though I suppose an updated drop menu would be a nice addition to the forums.

I wouldn't mind a color wheel like Proboards have, I think that'd be pretty cool~

I do like this idea as well however we wouldn't want to make the pop up color list to long or it will sort of defeat the purpose of it being a quick easy option selection. Basically we wouldn't want an issue where the list just keeps scrolling like when people download and install marking packs into their game and the list just never seems to end or becomes very "wordy" on the eyes. It just gets harder for you to find the color you want in the list.

Adding more color options there could be convenient to folks who like to use different colors but aren't too familiar with forum coding yet either.

I also like it because it's just a faster way of coloring things without all the code typing.

Perhaps we can consider a few dark/light versions of current colors. I can't guarantee any new additions but it can be brought up and discussed amongst the other staff as we do site work. We can see what the others think.

Thanks for the suggestions you guys! We appreciate the feedback
