Huh, thats pretty cool! Do you have a link to the old plugin somewhere? I might be able to patch it.

That would be amazing!

Sweet, I’ll see what I can do. At the very least I can get it working so that you can set the color values in the json and use the keyboard shortcuts. I haven’t had a chance to work with Sketch input fields yet but it might be easier than I’m imagining.

that's what I was doing before and I think it's good enough 👍

Quick update! I got the basic idea working. I’d like to tidy up a few things before the initial release but its getting close to done. (You’ll notice that the fill/border properties in the sketch UI don’t update properly. I have to reset something to get them to switch.)

Heya

@bernat-fortet

I was able to finish my initial release of the plugin. Check it out at: https://github.com/KevinGutowski/keyColor

There are a few known bugs (make sure you format your hex values in the settings properly) but it should work alright.

Let me know if it works out for ya!

This is awesome. I use sass variables for colors - $color1,$color2. So Designer and front end can use same variables :)

Amazing!!! 😍💯

One cool improvement would be to detect if the object is a text object and change the text color instead of adding a fill

ahh that shouldn’t be too tricky - I’ll add that to the list of todos!

@kev

did you have a chance to look at the text color instead of fill?

I'm using it all the time btw 👊

Ah sorry mate, I’ve been a bit busy lately! I’m almost done with my website so I’ll have some time to work on the plugin again. Thanks for the encouragement and I am glad you are finding it useful!

@bernat-fortet

I just pushed an update that should change the text color for text objects! I hope it works out for ya. (You can also find the latest release here: https://github.com/KevinGutowski/keyColor/releases )

Amazing!

I'd love for your plugin to get more exposure I bet a ton of people would find it helpful.

Maybe creating a post in the #Plugins channel?

Yeah, I haven’t done much marketing of the plugin aside from a few tweets. I’ll be sure to post something in that channel! As always, feel free to let me know if you have any issues or questions!
