Change color of font and line/fill of shape (W/P/E/O)

BaseExtensions can be used to have a quick selection of colors available as either buttons or within a menu. These commands will change the color of font, line, and fill of a shape, for whatever is selected be it text or a shape. Note that you can use Alloy to create the icon of the button as the same color.

This can also be done to named shapes. Read more in this article. 

In Excel, the fill color feature will fill selected cell(s) with color, while the line color feature will put a border around selected cell(s). 

Choose between RGB or ARGB colors.

CMDs

<Cmd case="BaseExtensions:change-line-color"/>
<Cmd case="BaseExtensions:change-fill-color"/>

Parameters

color

Type the RGB or ARGB color. Be sure to use a comma, and not a dot. When using ARGB colors, the A or the alpha value will define the density of the color.

bulletColor

This parameter works with the change font color command and will color bullets and numbered lists. 
If the parameter is not added the bullet and numbered list color will follow the font color. However, if the parameter is added it will color the bullet and numbered list the defined bulletColor.
BulletColor supports RGB and accents, but not transparency. 

useNativeFunc

Optional Boolean. Only relevant for font and only implemented in PowerPoint. Boolean. Can be set to true in order for bullets of the text not to be colored, unless the bullet is marked. Acts closer to how native coloring functions.

noFill

Set this parameter to be true in the command that changes fill color, if there should be no fill. 

noLine

Just as the above parameter, define this to be true in the command that changes line color, if there should be no line.

transparency

This parameter works in the commands that change fill color and line color. It controls the transparency of the color and must be defined as a number with 1 decimal, e.g. transparency="0.5" which is 50% transparent. 

prioritizeShape

Optional parameter for fill and line that defaults to false but can be set to true in order to prioritize shapes when applying new colors. This is relevant for when trying to target a shape within a table cell. With this set to false, it will color the cell in the table, but when set to true it will color the shape instead. 

colorScheme

The three commands support referencing a color theme accent. In this way, we can change the color to a specific accent. To do so, omit the color parameter and define in this parameter which accent the color should be changed to. These are the supported accents:

Accent1, Accent2, Accent3, Accent4, Accent5, Accent6, Light1, Light2, Dark1 and Dark2

Note that we also support using accent colors for ribbon icons using

icon="rgb:Accent.1"
