Quick Colorizer

[Pyritie]

There was someone complaining in the hive's chat a while ago that the only colorizer that works for macs on here didn't work. That gave me the idea to quickly throw together this program.

It supports gradient and solid text coloring, and can output your text in WC3, vB, or HTML.

Includes error console and automatic clipboard copying.

YOU NEED TO HAVE THE JAVA RUNTIME ENVIRONMENT IN ORDER TO RUN THIS PROGRAM. DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION HERE.

Because this is java, it should work on Windows, Macs, and Linux.

Source code included, of course.

This stuff really works, I'm gonna give it a try in future... maybe. No guarantees. I'm just testing.

My only criticism it's only a two-colour gradient. None of this multiple colours or rainbow shit. Also, the "recent colours" doesn't save recent colours on Mac.

Meh, I could probably add that, but do you really want to see rainbow tooltips? :B

I just use java's built-in color chooser so that's not something I can do anything about. :/

for rainbow tooltips, just split the text up into the number of colors you want, and then apply a linear gradient over the split and repeat for the next split, using the final color of the first as the starting color of the second.

Yeah, I know how to do it; it's just more of a question of me getting over my laziness.

I could do it if it's really that big of a deal.

Very simple, very nice. Just the tool I was looking for.

no no, im not talking to you, I'm talking to the lazy bums that don't want to do it manually.

It works and is Java cross platform, so I approve.

However, I think it could be more useful than that, right now I can just type a tooltip and then add colors to each word I'd like for example, I need to type every colored section separated... I can't save colors, it could just have a 16 slot palette where you can save your colors so it didn't depend on Java's dialog...
