Add color for popup key preview to the "all colors" list

[maruuk]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A bit. If the colors of the keys and popups are similar, it's a bit difficult to see the key you are selecting in the popup.

Describe the solution you'd like Add this color to the "all colors" list so it can be customized.

Use case Make the key preview more visible. The dynamic colors theme has a colorful preview for the popup key and it looks really cool. I would like to do the same with my themes.

See screenshot

Describe alternatives you've considered (if any) Using dynamic colors.

I guess I didn't specify the feature request. I meant the ability to customize the background of the selected key in the popup. I added a screenshot, but maybe you missed it.

The color you added was already there, but under the name KEY_PREVIEW. Now it looks like there are two, and on the color customization screen, the keys flash a different color than the customized one.

Fwiw, I tried exporting my current color config to file, edited it to add , "popup_keys_background":{"first":-16757175,"second":false} at the appropriate spot at the end of the list, then went to HeliBoard settings > Appearance > Colors > "Load" to load the config file, but there was no visual difference.

Did I enter the value incorrectly? (I'm trying to set a teal background for the currently-selected key in a popup) Or is this value not currently settable, even in a custom color config file?

Edit: Do I understand correctly that we are discussing the background colors for the popup you see when you long-press a key, not the preview you see briefly when you tap a key? "Popup" and "preview" are not interchangeable...

Honestly, I didn't know what to call it 😅 I mean the backlight of the selected key in popup.

Yep, that is the same thing I am referring to.

I tried adding this color to the list of all colors, but to no avail 😞 If I remember correctly, @BlackyHawky was adding the dynamic color theme, so maybe he'll know how to add this color to that list and the other themes.
