Preview value color RGB, HEX, HSL.

@peterjones, thanks, I’ll take a look.

@thislinked said in Preview value color RGB, HEX, HSL.:

You are not the developer of this QCP, but as in my case, this plugin is simply useless if it cannot do the job.

Apparently, the QCP doesn’t recognize < as ending a color hex sequence. It does recognize a space or a " or a ; as valid character to come after the hex. And it doesn’t recognize an 8-nibble HEX as a valid RGB color.

I wouldn’t call that useless. Just something that could be improved.

If you don’t have any other ideas, then perhaps we should close this question if it doesn’t crown a successful solution.

This isn’t a Question and Answer board where we “close questions”. This is a Community Forum, where we are here to discuss things.

…
Interesting. My ColorizeHtmlCssColors script isn’t picking up on the ones in the style tags, but does pick up the examples like you showed. (Also, it only does #RRGGBB, not rgb(…) or #AARRGGBB)

I hadn’t used my script in months (I don’t actually deal with color terms in my normal workflow), so I’d forgotten: you run it once to colorize, and another to remove the colors. But what I did remember, but probably didn’t make clear, is that if you edit a color text after running, it doesn’t update on the fly, so you then have to uncolor and recolor to get it to update.

@ThIsLinked

It does now …

Cheers.

Actually, it was, but Notepad++'s lexer coloring for being an attribute was overriding my scripts indicator. If I switch to normal text (so no lexer is active), it shows the color even inside the attribute:

I am working on updating my script: it now allows #AARRGGBB as well. Eventually, as I find time, I might also add in the rgb(_,_,_) syntax as well, but I’ve got a meeting in a few minutes, so not right away.

I did confirm:

So it’s working better than my script again, since it works even with a lexer active, and accepts other endings. :-)

Updated the github copy of the script again…

Using dash rather than foreground. allow rgb(##,##,##) to work

Good script!

Hi guys,
Notepad++ v 8.7.5 does not show the colors on the bottom of the code i.e. the small yellow line under #FF0000 with QCP 2.1.2.1.
Is it normal?

Try to disable the DirectWrite mode (uncheck N++ menu Settings > Preferences… > MISC. > “Use DirectWrite” checkbox).
