Global accent color customization

[noraj]

Right now (v1.6) only label color can be changed, I guess it's planned to make the global accent color changeable (used by links for example).

  "branding": {
    "title": "Ruby Cheatsheet",
    "label": "Docs",
    "colors": {
      "label": {
        "text": "#cc342d",
        "background": "#f1c3c0"
      }
    }
  },

Hi @noraj Thanks for the feature request. Yes, Retype will support the ability to define a theme and/or a custom colour palette. We made a plan at the end of last week and will working on the implementation right away. I'm not sure if the functionality will make it into the v1.8.0, but we will try out best.

@geoffreymcgill do you know when this will be released?

[geoffreymcgill]

We cannot get it into v1.11, but I do think we can finalize our initial palette implementation for v1.12. I don't have time-frames for those releases, although that would be the order. We will try.

I guess it will be for v2.0 instead

Hi @noraj. Retype v2.0 will not include a built-in configuration option to modify the link colors, but the release will include an option to override the default styles by including your own custom .css file.

We are still planning to implement simple and flexible palette configurations, but the whole thing turned into a much bigger challenge than we had allocated during the v2.0 release cycle. It's still a super high priority, although will have to wait for a future release.
