README

Colours of Marked, Suspended, and Flagged Cards

As its name suggests, this little addon allows one to change the standard background-colours of cards that are marked, suspended, or equipped with either flag1, flag2, flag3, or flag4.

To configure, proceed as follows: <ol><li>Go to the initial <b>Decks</b> screen.</li><li>Click on <b>Tools > Add-Ons</b> (or press <b>β‡§βŒ˜A</b>).</li><li>Select <b>Colours of Marked, Suspended, and Flagged Cards</b>.</li><li>Select <b>View Files</b> on the lower right side.</li><li>Open the file <b>colours_of_cardsβ€€py</b> with a text editor.</li><li>Choose the desired colours.</li></ol>The six colours in question can be specified by using hexadecimal numerals or one of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors#X11_color_names" rel="nofollow">the standard colour names</a>.

<p>

Upon install, there is only one immediately noticeable change: marked cards appear no longer in grey (<code>#cccccc</code>) – which made it difficult to distinguish them from selected cards, painted in dark grey – but in lavender (<code>#e6e6fa</code>). In the example shown infra, for instance, you may see that the line starting with the word β€œ<i>dur</i>” is currently selected (and thus grey), whereas the line starting with β€œ<i>bist</i>” is marked (and thus lavender). The five following coloured lines have the standard colours for suspension and flags 1 to 4.
