ColorUI

Operator and family colour palettes, with the active palette roaming through config.

▦ Interface Console tab Hub tab

Where it appears

Read off the registry hosts in the component, so this is where the tool puts itself in a default install; every one of these can be reordered or hidden from Hub.

ColorUI

ColorUI: Recolor any TouchDesigner UI element, create presets, import/export, and share!

  • Available as the OpColor tab of Hub (the FNS button in the main-menu bar)
  • Includes recoloring OP Families (looking at you, POPs)
  • Or any UI element by choosing from the dropdown
  • Saving colors locally saves them to the component and can be auto-loaded on startup
  • Export to JSON, and import; imported settings take precedence over local

In the console

ColorUI is also the first tool to contribute a tab to Console, the toolkit's web front: the same colour UI, served in the browser alongside Settings and Install & remove. Turn it on with Expose on ColorUI's Registry page and open the console (FNS_Console, tab ColorUI). While the console serves the page, ColorUI's own in-TD web render switches off so it is not rendering the same page twice.

Parameters

Its Registry page comes from FNS_ConfigRegistry, FNS_Console and FNS_HubRegistry.
