Customizing toolbar buttons - back color options

Submitted by LM77 on 2025/09/28 09:16

Currently (unless I am missing something) it is possible to customize the toolbar by adding buttons to set back colors from the 10 "Item Back Color" options listed under Item - Back Color (i.e. from Red to Purple).

Would it be possible to add an option to provide such buttons for other, user-specified colors which do not appear in that list (for example, Teal and Sea Green, which I often use with dark mode)?

Thanks!

You can already do that: Customize toolbar>open back color took>select and drag color onto a toolbar.

Here's my toolbar.  Most of my colors are user-defined:

This is the color set I created.  It displays the maximum number of colors allowed, I believe:

The set above is roughly grouped by color type but it needs cleaning up as there are a considerable number of duplicates and near-duplicates.

Here's the code for the above set:

You can add any color you see and like by creating the correct code using the picker in Color Mania (free app).

I also have a color reference grid where I have many more colors captured online.  For these, you just copy the value in ItemColor and paste it in the ItemColor field next to the item you want to color:
