What is Color Converter?
I could be going crazy but I think a week or two ago a user had asked for an extension to convert hex color codes to rgb. I got a wild hair today and decided to make it. After getting input from a few other guys on Twitter, I decided to make the extension do the reverse as well (rgb to hex) and provide customization on the output format of the rgb values. So here we go..
How to use Color Converter
- cc [hex] - returns the value in rgb
- cc [rgb] - returns the value in hex
- cc format [text format] - sets the rgb output format
- cc help - displays the help menu
- cc about - displays info about the extension
- cc version - displays the current version of the extension
- cc changelog - displays the changelog for the extension
When setting the rgb output format, just use a simple sting and place %r, %g, %b in the position you would like to have the values placed. So, for instance, if you wanted to set the output format to be a css rgb value, you would use “cc format rgb(%r,%g,%b)”. This would result in an output from “cc #ecff8a” to be “rgb(236,255,138);”. These results are shown in Growl and are automatically copied to the clipboard as well.
