I made an extension that adds new palettes to the color extension, but when I enter it into my project it stops working. I’ve tried to delete it in java script but it won’t delete. the extension is called arcade-night-palettes
Ok nevermind I found aa backup project but I’m wondering if there is a way to make custom palettes in the color fading extension; I want to be able to fade between four palettes:
Original,
Sunset,
Evening,
and Night.
Is there a way to add custom palettes to the color fading extension? @richard would you know how to do this?
@eugeneredwing8 you can if you go to javascript, click the plus button on top of the file explorer to add a custom ts file, and put this in it:
namespace color {
//% fixedInstance whenUsed block="my palette"
export const myPalette= bufferToPalette(hex`
000000
17ABFF
DF2929
C600FF
FF007D
00FF72
e5FF00
0034FF
FFFFFF
00EFFF
FF0000
7400DB
636363
FF7a00
2D9F00
000000
`);
}
but save your project before doing that!

It doesn’t cause any problems, the project runs fine, but the palette doesn’t show up in the list.

Well, now it keeps giving me this error before I even create the file: “Package not installed: this, did you forget to run pxt install?”

@eugeneredwing8 i’ve added the file in this version of the project:
note the “my palette” entry in the color fading dropdown.
if you want to add more palettes, go to javascript and click on “custom.ts” in the file explorer:
and declare the palettes in the file just like the one i already added (but with different names). the //% block="" annotation can be used to change the name that appears in the dropdown
