Adding Additional Text Colors

Andy Fragen edited this page Dec 20, 2013 · 2 revisions

By default, The Events Calendar Category Colors provides a choice of three text colors - black, white and grey. This is sufficient for the vast majority of cases but there may be times when you wish to work to a very particular color scheme and need something different.

Default dropdown (black, white, grey)

Adding additional text colors can be done by inserting a single line of code into your theme's functions.php file (or some other suitable place) - something like this:

teccc_add_text_color('Imperial Crimson', '#fe5420');

You can add as many additional colors as you like. They should then be available from within the Category Colors settings tab:

Extended dropdown (black, white, grey, imperial crimson)

Please note that you must pass a valid color value that will be understood in the context of a cascading stylesheet. For example, #fa0 (hash symbol and three digits) or #5690bb (hash symbol and six digits) - invalid color values are unlikely to achieve the results you are looking for!

Be sure to refer to Customizing Category Colors Plugin for the proper implementation of settings.
