You can also change the text on the Toggle Button with the options togglePaletteMoreText (default is "more") and togglePaletteLessText (default is "less"). Set it to TRUE to enable the Toggle button.

The default value for togglePaletteOnly is FALSE. This way, the user can choose from a limited number of colors in the palette, but still be able to pick a color that's not in the palette.

Spectrum can show a button to toggle the colorpicker next to the palette. You can set a lot of options when initializing the colorpicker. If you want to get more into the functionality, just create a normal input and initialize it as a normal jQuery plugin. Here is the Firefox bug where it was added. 50+ comments and 10 patches later, the case landed in WebKit.
#COLOR SPECTRUM PATCH#
Then I pulled the jQuery dependency out of a branch and I submitted a patch to the WebKit project.įrom there, I opened a bug to start working on it Web Inspector. After that, I was contacted on the devtools mailing list and got some initial feedback about the possibility of integrating it with devtools. When I started the project, I wrote about developer tools concept colorpicker implementation.
#COLOR SPECTRUM SKIN#
It is easy to skin and customize the plugin with CSS, and there are a wide range of modes and options to explore.Īlong with desktop browser support, I wanted a mobile colorpicker that was touch friendly, worked in iOS and Android, and used standardsīelieve it or not, this colorpicker lives inside of Chrome, Firefox, and Safari devtools to make picking colors easier for web developers and designers. Just because you don't have to change anything to get it to work, doesn't mean you can't! If you don't want this behavior to happen, but still want to use spectrum elsewhere on the page, you can set $.fn.spectrum.load = false right after loading the script file. This mode needs to work without JavaScript enabled - and fallback to an input like other HTML5 inputs. I wanted an option for the most basic use case, a polyfill for the input HTML5 control. Spectrum is contained in two files, and both are careful not to mess with your existing code. Nobody wants to add a bunch of code into their project. Just include the needed CSS and JavaScript files, and you are ready to go!
