Trying to understand how to make component sets and use variance to make designing more simplified. I have a tile that has an icon on the right that I want to be able to change both what type of icon it is as well as its colour. Is there a way to create the two-component properties using variance? Do all the icons need to be grouped by color and do I need to adjust their naming conventions (still not to sure how that works as well)h
There is a more efficient way to do this, by taking advantage of Color Styles. With this method, you only have to create your icons once, and no need for variants. Color Style swapping will handle that.
Create your icon components, but using a boring black color. Avoid creating variants of the icons, if it's only the fill color that's changing.
Instead create a standard set of Color Styles for your icons.
Your designers then, could place an instance of a black icon from your library. Then use the Selection Panel to replace the black color with one of your defined color styles.

I've made a simple shape editor. I can change colors (used to fill shapes) by click on buttons in a menu bar. The disadvangate of this solving is the fact that the numbers of colors are so restricted. I can't find a better solution for my program. Can somebody help me and give me an idea how can I improve it? I thought about color palette, but I have no idea how can I do this.
The image:
("Aktywny kolor" means active colors, and there is the list of colors below, which I can use)
You would need to use a color picker where the colors are distributed on many pixels and not on a very small set of color names. Since you are using applet, you might want to download an already made color picker compatible with your environment, or you might want to write your own, depending on whether the things you find meet your expectations.
I'm looking for a cross-platform rich text widget that supports non-trivial markup including the following, and I wonder if Tk's text widget can be extended to do them:
set text background color
draw lines over and under text
draw borders around text
decorate content by overlaying lines and shapes (e.g., filled circles)
indicate items in a gutter
To give you an idea, look at the middle pane here:
I read a little about tags, but they seem to be limited to the basics like font, color, etc. I also read about drawing text on the canvas widget, but it looks like standard text editor-like text selection, flow, etc. would be lost.
Thanks very much.
In short, you can only do what you've read in the documentation (assuming you've read authoritative documentation).
Specifically, the text widget does not do all that you asked. You cannot do the following:
draw lines over and under text. You can use custom fonts with the overstrike and underline attributes turned on but there's no way to add lines over a widget, and you have no control on the visual attributes of the overstrike or underline
decorate content by overlaying lines and shapes (e.g., filled circles)
You can set text background and foreground colors, draw borders around the text, and put items in a gutter. For the latter you would need to use a canvas as the gutter.
Note that if you use a canvas rather than a text widget you can do all of those things (read: the text items of the canvas can be editable), but it would require a large amount of work to implement all of the bindings necessary to use it as an editor.

I'm trying to make an header in Photoshop but I want the image I use to only have two base colors.
Just like:
How do I make this happen? And is it possible to just adjust one layer?
Basics is use hue/saturation in Image>Adjustment>hue/saturation tick the colorise in the bottom and enjoy colouring
When I set the badge value, it's red background with white font.
Is it possible to change the background color of the badge to eg. blue?
I had to do this recently and there isn't a built-in way.
But really, it's not that hard to write your own:
Have a graphic designer make you 3 images: left side, right side, and a 1 pixel wide image you can stretch for larger numbers
Make a new control and inherit from UIView
Use a UILabel and three UIImageViews for each picture
The only slightly difficult part is going to be measuring the length of the text for centering.
Rolling your own let's you make it exactly how you need. I exposed a int? Value property that made extremely easy to use from within my apps as well as a ValueChanged event.
I have a design in .psd format. It is using various layers and diffrent settings for opacity. I am using Photoshop CS3. How can I get background color of the layer. One way is to use in-build Color Palette utility but that doesn't suits me. I want a way by which I can get exact Brush that is used for the background. It may or may not have Gradients.
Not that this is programming related, but use the eye-dropper tool.

Once the color is placed into your "foreground color" box, click the box and it will show you the color in RGB, Hex, and pretty much any other way you can display a color value.
