StudioStyleGuideColor and StudioStyleGuideModifier can be used to automatically style your plugin UI to Studio’s theme (e.g. Light or Dark). However, just from looking at the list of available items, it’s not always clear which you should use, and sometimes items are incomplete. Aside from manually trying different items one by one, there is no way to determine which you should use at glance.
However, now there is an unofficial utility plugin available which allows you to easily determine which StudioStyleGuideColor/Modifier to use.
Features
This plugin allows the user to preview a table of all StudioStyleGuideColors in each of their possible states, and then filter down that list with a searchbar. The theme list at the top of the plugin can be used to cycle through all available themes to verify selected items behave as expected across each theme.
Being a frequent builder in Studio, and a user of the dark theme, this looks very useful. I think I will look into this plugin. Thank you for developing it!
I don’t actually apply themes to Studio. I just leave it as the default Light Ribbon Bar theme. That being said, if this makes it easier to apply themes to Studio, then I’m willing to try my hand at creating themes.
Would it be possible to make it so you can search by the hex color, and so that you can open/close the widget while the Viewport isn’t visible? I’m using this plugin actively while making a plugin, and those are the two main annoyances at the moment.
EDIT: Turns out you can search by hex colors and I’m just a fool. I would still appreciate being able to toggle it when the Viewport isn’t visible though.
Sorry to bump this, but this plugin is so useful! I actually forked a copy and changed the hex code TextLabels to read-only TextBoxes in order to allow for copying and pasting of colour codes. It’d be great to have this in the official plugin.
