Tinderbox colors

10/06/22

And there you have it from Mark Anderson!

I knew Tinderbox should take hex colors, too.

But type "hex" into the horrid little OSX Tinderbox Help search window. Or type "Example: #A482BF". Or type "Converting Strings to Colors". You will still have to click a link, and then scan to find those exact locations. Such wonderful browser technology, but the help files make you never want to go asking for help. Individual pages should be searchable.

OSX Help browsing is so crippled, anything more than 10 lines of text is pain. Especially with my 1984 MTV attention span.

To tie off this rant with an interesting discovery: Short-hand 3 letter hex notation also works. Tinderbox accepts rgb and hsv style notations as well.
