Custom Color Label Colors

Color coding is really important to me. So much so, that in WorkFlowy I used to tag things as #red, #blue, etc. just to get around this. It’s awesome Dynalist has this and even better than you can use keyboard shortcuts for it.

But, letting me customize colors would be much better. I am color-blind, so I need to play around to find colors that I can differentiate easily. Also, I already have a system in my head for exactly what colors I want to use because I generally keep it consistent between all apps. For now, I’ll keep using my color tags. :grin:

From the blog post:

We plan to offer customization of the colors sometime in the future. If you need that really badly though, do let us know.

Sounds like a pretty good enough reason to me.

Yes, as @JP1 said, we’re planning to do it at some point :slight_smile:

私も一貫した色のシステムを持っているので、色のカスタマイズ機能を切に望んでいます。特に、ピンク色は私にとって重要な色です。もしプロ版にその機能があれば、私は喜んでそれにお金を払うでしょう。

I also have a consistent color system, so I really want the color customization feature. In particular, pink is an important color for me. If the pro version has that feature, I will gladly pay for it.

Hi Gigacee,

You can customize the colors using custom CSS, a PRO feature. I changed my color-1 to be a light green by pasting this into the Custom CSS box in Dynalist settings:

.set-color-label[data-color="1"], .Node-contentContainer.mod-color-label-1 {
    background-color: #ddffcc;
}

素晴らしいです!

それは私が Pro 版に課金するのに十分な理由です。

ありがとうございます!

Great!

That’s a sufficient reason to pay for Pro plan.

Thank you!

Perhaps this belongs in another thread that I haven’t found yet…

Probably the biggest feature I was hoping to find in Dynalist vs Workflowy was an ability to assign colours to #tags.

Obviously this would need to be custom colours, so when you do add a colour selector for item colours, PLEASE also consider allowing Pro users to assign colours to selected tags from their tags pane. This is probably doable with a whole lot of work in custom CSS that would need constant updating, so not really a solution.

I think it’s a good idea to post a separate feature request about your use case, as it’s pretty different from the OP. Would be sad to see your request hidden here…

Hoping this is still planned!

It’s easily doable in CSS actually, and what I’m using hasn’t required updating since I initially put it together back in October (unlike when I customized Todoist, which would break every few days it felt like).

Likely not planned any more, since it’s pretty easy to do with custom CSS (released in June 2018).

Do you still need this?

I would still like to be able to do this … 7 colors is not sufficient. Is it incredibly difficult to add a font and background color-picker?

It is still very important for me to have color customization feature.

Is this not sufficient for you @jumaoya? Put this in for each color from 1 to 6 and you get the colors you need.

Thanks a lot!
The problem is that I need more colors, not only 6 kinds.
It‘s my fault that I didn’t make it clear.

I would also appreciate more colors a lot!

Thanks again, Dynalist is the backbone of my life.
