Add Color Picker to Your Macros
With a new update, you can now use Color Picker in your Macro dialogs using DialogBox_AddColorPicker function. In the past when a macro needed user input for a color, the only option was to use a text box and ask for a hex color code which is much harder for users who just want to pick a color from a set of common colors.
Color Picker control looks like this in a dialog box:
When user clicks on the dropdown, the standard Windows Color Picker is displayed to allow user to pick a color:
Along with the color picker, a new base type Color is added. Certain properties of objects, like fontColor or highlightColor used to be String types. They are now using the new Color type. Color type has a few advantages over the String type. If a font color of a text is red, previously doing $text.fontColor == "red" wouldn't work, you would have to use the hex format (#ff0000). Color type is smart enough to compare color names and values, therefore such comparison or assignment will now work. There is also a new Color function to create variables of type color.
Macros that used to offer a dropdown with a set of predefined colors will be updated in the coming days to use the color picker.
Update information for Macros
Another feature added in the new update is the ability to see what updates are available for an installed macro. If you are looking at the details of an installed macro in Download Macros window, you will now see which updates are available and which version you currently have installed:
This way you can see what the new update offers and decide whether you want to update to the new version of a macro or not.
It is not on the Ribbon Bar in the "Separate Tab".
It i not under any other "Tabs"
And it is not under the "Onetastic Group" that is left on my "Ribbon" when "Home Tab" is selected.
According to your help file page sent kindly to me, it should be on the "Ribbon" when the "Home Tab" is selected.
Can you help me figure that out?
Thank you
I tried out the new view that puts all your macros into its own toolbar. Now I cannot figure out how to get back to the default view and more importantly, I cannot seem to find my way to the the "Download Window" to manage things. . I downloaded a lot to try and I am finding I need to trim them a bit, and maybe look for alternatives for some I do trim.
I appreciate any help anyone can throw my way--Thanks

Thanks much,

1. white space removed,
2. all objects on a page put in one window.
Result: Now the page is ready to create a TOC to organize the accumulated objects.
1. Does this product exist?
2. Where are product ideas submitted?
3. Is there a list of requested products we could sign up for notification once they are developed?
