Show the accent color, not just the accent name

rodrigo mesquita Public · Dec 21 2022

Idea Summary
Show an easy way to know what color the accent name represents

Use Case
Usually we need to select the accent, save and run the page to see which color that represents

Preferred Solution (Optional)
add a square, circle or background color showing the actual color for each accent as I did below for the first 2 accents

We reviewed this idea carefully, and while it was interesting, we concluded that it is unlikely to make its way into APEX in the foreseeable future.

    we need to select the accent, save and run the page

    Just in case you are unaware, you can use the live template options to quickly cycle through accents without requiring a full page save/reload

    @trent yes, that’s much faster indeed, but we still have to browse the accents to see the colors

    The team reviewed this idea again and decided to close it for now. There are unique challenges and potentially security concerns with bringing theme related CSS to the builder UI. Perhaps we can revisit in the future, but at least for now Live Template Options offers a relatively quick preview.
