For example, Find attached a "SVG image" tiddler, import it
Transclude it in your viewTemplate or tiddler and if the current tiddler has a color value it will display a "swatch" of that color. The value in the color field will be displayed on mouse over. To polish and publish this it would also have; - A button that works in the toolbars, and selective click to pick color - A button on which if you drop a color name or number it will update the color field of the current tiddler - A Set of draggable named color swatches in a side bar tab Extended tools would allow the search and selection from thousands of named colors. - Would you consider a donation to make this happen? - What accountability for donations would you expect?
