"Feature" Suggestion (Low Priority, Developer QoL Question rather than WCAG related)

[rainbowforgedev]

Hello again! This is not so much an issue as a question about a potential change to the customizer options.

I really wanted to use variables for the toolbar colors etc. rather than the default color picker, and now that I've got a plugin that my clients won't be able to update, I wanted to test out making some changes to it :) so I changed all the "color" field values in https://github.com/accessiblepixel/oneclickaccessibility2-fork/blob/main/includes/pojo-a11y-customizer.php to text fields instead so I could just use variables, and it seems to render the css just fine. I thought I'd put this comment here for the following reasons:

1. In case you or someone else might be interested in using it the same way (grr color picker without custom palette), Or perhaps
2. In case there's some other way to achieve similar functionality (for eg. I'm not sure how difficult it is to create a customizer object that has the theme's custom color palette available within plugin settings?) If it's a case of I just haven't read https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/customize-api/customizer-objects/ enough, and it's basically just a different premade object, it'd probably make more sense to just do that? If text is the easier way, then perhaps
3. In case there's a security reason that I Shouldn't do what I've done, maybe you or someone else will be kind enough to let me know that :>

Thank you so very very much for doing this once again!!!

P.S. I unfortunately don't have funds to spare at the moment 😢 but if you put a donation link of some kind in the customizer, I bet people who are used to Elementor shoving itself everywhere will be just fine with that.

P.P.S. Adding an example below
$fields[] = [ 'id' => 'a11y_toggle_button_color', 'title' => __( 'Toggle Button Color', 'pojo-accessibility' ), 'type' => 'text', //instead of color here 'std' => '#ffffff', 'selector' => '#pojo-a11y-toolbar .pojo-a11y-toolbar-toggle a', 'change_type' => 'color', 'description' => __( 'Set Toolbar toggle button icon color', 'pojo-accessibility' ), ];

Hi. Thanks for your ideas :)

Is this the picker you're referring to?

With the default colour palette at the bottom?

I see no issues with making it a manual text entry form so you can write whatever you want there, although one thing I think is that it would need validation to make sure the entry is valid, and it's not as intuitive to write a hex code for colour as it is one to pick one from the picker.

I do wonder if there's a way to make it take the palette choices from the other colours a site is using (header/body background, but different themes set these differently or some don't even have any.

Thank you also for suggestions about donations. I do have a Kofi page but I don't really use it all that much. I'm mostly happy making sure that this simple plugin is still available, especially without a cloud-subscription-request-limited-gdpr-mess that the elementor version has become :)

Have a great weekend <3

Yeah that's the one :) I get what you mean, I wonder if there's a way to give people the option to switch between the two types of inputs based on their preference? I'll try to figure it out myself since it's my suggestion ofc. SO to core framework for making a pretty cool free plugin that lets even end users copy CSS variables with one click :) (not sponsored or anything I just think that it's a really cool tool, please let me know if this is still inappropriate?). And thank you so much again for making this plugin available! Finally, I hope you do as well!
