New TV providing a colour selector

It would be good to have a colour picker TV/widget so that you can add a color code TV to a template allowing the end user to customise the appearance of a template and easily change the colours displayed. eg you could use multiple TV’s in the style defs of the template

Yes, this would be a very useful addition. We use TVs to change background colour etc. all the time.

In the older versions pre 095 I made a tv for that by hacking the core code. its not so easy to do I think.

without hacking the core.

there is a wiki pag eon this here:
http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Adding_TV_Widgets_without_hacking_the_core

I think this needs to be in the document editor, so it would be an input widget, while the Wiki below is for emulating output widgets. Might be able to add this in there somewhere in a plugin, maybe using the onDocFormRerender event? At the bottom of the mutate_content.dynamic.php file is a block of javascript adding the two calendar date-picker widgets to the form, Perhaps the plugin could insert the color picker widget in there as well.
