What's New
1.0.3 March 24th, 2025
- Updated a couple of lines of code to make the addon compatible with Blender 4.4
The addon uses icons from Blenders Sequencer, for example "SEQUENCE_COLOR_05". These Sequence_Color icons were renamed to "STRIP_COLOR_05" in Blender 4.4 The addon now checks the Blender version and uses the corresponding icon name.
Really helpful. Seems bugged for some reason. Ex. 1 Set color is #9B9B9B. When applied it turns #545454 Ex. 2 Set color is #642F2F. When applied it turns #200707
Hi Big thanks for this add-on. I have been using my own script, but this workflow seems better.
I have two suggestion though, which I don't know if it is possible, as I struggled with the same issue in my script.
The issue is that I can't see color changes live when I adjust the color from the Color Wheel. If I change the Frame/Node color from the Color Wheels that opens from the N-Panel, I can see the color change immediately. But if I use the wheel from the pie (or use my own script), I have to first adjust the color, and then “assign” it.
I don't know if this just something that is not possible in Blender for some reason.
Hi! First of all, thank you for the amazing add-on — it saves a lot of clicks :)
I wanted to suggest a small improvement: Currently, custom colors can be configured in the N-Panel, which is great. However, the Pie Menu (which I mainly use for speed, since it’s less convenient for me to keep switching and scrolling through N-Panel tabs) does not reflect those custom colors.
It would be fantastic if either the Pie Menu colors were automatically synchronized with the colors set in the N-Panel, or if the colors could be customized separately in the add-on preferences.
This would make the workflow even faster and more consistent.
I really appreciate your work!
