#ff00ff — Public Fediverse posts

I use ghostty on a 16 inch 4k screen and the narrow vertical cursor is invisible to me.

After random stabbing, I've put this in my ~/.config/ghostty/config

cursor-style = block
cursor-text = #FF00FF
shell-integration-features = no-cursor
cursor-color = FF0000

That gives me a solid red block for a cursor and I haven't mistyped since.

@jwildeboer Why CSS? Can't wait to go back to

Für ein zu erstellendes Logo möchte ich eine Farbe wählen die eine giftig aussehende Flüssigkeit darstellt. Was würdet ihr denn da nehmen? #ff00ff vielleicht oder komplementär #00ff00?

I coudn't figure out how to stop it, but I did figure out where in the ROM it stored the intended color ramp, and just overwrote it with a bunch of #FF00FF

Just released vscode-xml 0.29.0. The new feature is that the colour picker works with hex colours that don't have a leading `#`; i.e. it will work properly for `#FF00FF` and `FF00FF`.

#vscode #xml

How many pixels in a space on this or that font?

All about #FF00FF and #00FFFF specifically?

Making a programming language from cuneiform?

I got excited at the idea of calc/clamping color lightness in hsl() only to discover that there is no way to do it that will work in all browsers 😢.

Adding percentages works in Safari, doesn't work in FF and Chrome:
background-color: hsl(from #ff00ff h s calc(l + 30%))

Adding numbers works in FF and Chrome, doesn't work in Safari:
background-color: hsl(from #ff00ff h s calc(l + 30))

Here's a code pen: https://codepen.io/angelikatyborska/pen/MYgwJyv

Please somebody tell me that I'm wrong?

@TengoHipo This looks an awful lot like early 1980s IBM PC CGA colours, maybe you should try converting it to 320x200 in 4 colours, 2-bit colour palette. Just plain white, magenta, cyan, black #ffffff #ff00ff #00ffff #000000

Most people in offices didn't have the luxury of a colour screen though (if they even had a CGA card installed and not just an MDA card that couldn't do any graphics at all, just plain ASCII text) and had to look at their pie charts in four shades of green or amber instead. I wonder if CGA palette 0 (white, magenta, cyan) with background colour 0 (black) as the IBM CGA default was responsible for the use of these colours in so many futuristic airbrush posters of the day, or if that was just parallel evolution.

Transparent Pink! #ff00ff

@spiralganglion i haven't heard the term, but i could imagine using magenta for this purpose. but in which case, i would definitely call it "designer magenta" over "designer pink" - and honestly i basically don't use the word magenta to refer to many colours other than that particular #FF00FF shade, so it doesn't feel sexist to me.

I just really want to paint with #ff00ff and #00ffff now.

it's because the format of a flag is like:
$variable="value"
$variable2=#FF00FF

shape{
$color
}

but one of the special variables is the "name" and a flag can have multiple names. So... you just assign the variable more than once! and it remembers all of them!

@xludek no dle specifikace CSS je (k #FF00FF) nejblíž dvojka v druhým řádku

I offer the suggestion of renaming that #FF00FF magenta "Magicalenta".

#FF00FF

Some days I really miss Windows 95 with LiteStep as the shell.

This post brought to you by Magic Pink (#FF00FF)

@drgeraint Why make that distinction of "perceived by our brains"? They are easily perceived by silicon as well, so do animals (e.g. hummingbirds).
What we call #FF00FF is purely a human construct, but the ability to perceive blacks, grays, magentas, etc. is nothing special.

"Would animals with different cones in their eyes still perceive the same colours"
- How would you tell? AFAIK they do perceive a diff between Mag. and Red or Blue - but can't find any paper on the topic via quick search.

@foone there's a D&D alignment chart in there somewhere. My vote for chaotic evil:

var div = document.createElement('div');
div.style.backgroundColor = '#ff00ff';
console.log(div.style.backgroundColor); // rgb(255, 0, 255)
const [r, g, b] = div.style.backgroundColor.slice(4, -1).split(',').map(Number)

@coelacanthus another useless thing: slap in a contenteditable attribute and edit your website's style from within your site, no JS required

<style style="display: block; font-family: monospace; white-space: pre;" contenteditable>
/* you can edit me! */
body {
  background: #ff00ff;
  font-family: Comic Sans MS;
}
</style>

javascript:(function(){ const colors = ['#FF0000',%20'#00FF00',%20'#0000FF',%20'#FFFF00',%20'#00FFFF',%20'#FF00FF'];%20%20%20let%20i%20=%200;%20%20%20setInterval(()%20=>%20{%20%20%20%20%20document.body.style.backgroundColor%20=%20colors[i++%20%%20colors.length];%20%20%20},%20500);%20})();

@damieng
The only 4* allowed colors are listed here:
https://www.gbstudio.dev/docs/assets/backgrounds

The fonts you prepared load on GB Studio, can be selected and the pixel-imperfect preview show the text. But when running the game, is all black.

* Magenta #ff00ff is used on variable width fonts, for filling the right edge of the chars.
