Starting to regret my vB purchase.

[Reeve of shinra]

As I said in my reply to your post about vb.org support on vb.com - make a nice easy for us to understand list of what your trying to accomplish in a new thread and we will try to help you out if we can. I think people are just starting to look over threads you've made at this point because its just too much already.

btw: were you looking for this

The colours are defined in the javascript files in the "clientscript" folder ;

For vB 3.0.7 you need the vbulletin_editor.js, for 3.5.0 it's vbulletin_textedit.js

In the relevant file named above you will find a section defining the colours in an array ;

var coloroptions = new Array();
coloroptions = {
	"#000000" : "Black",
	"#A0522D" : "Sienna",
	"#556B2F" : "DarkOliveGreen",
	"#006400" : "DarkGreen",
	"#483D8B" : "DarkSlateBlue",
	"#000080" : "Navy",
	"#4B0082" : "Indigo",
	"#2F4F4F" : "DarkSlateGray",
	"#8B0000" : "DarkRed",

The above is just the first few lines.

Edit the colours in this array until your heart is content.

don't confuse template mods with file edits.

Sadly, I fear the information may have been posted in vain - the OP has not logged in since an hour before my post. Oh well, someone else may find it useful.

All the WYSIWYG code is in the javascript files. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to tell you what to change or where to change it. My knowledge of Javascript is limited to cut and paste.

Thanks again, Paul M... That was the easiest thing in the word to do.

Where to start a new thread?

Boy, there sure are some rude, lazy people in this thread.

Danny, COBRAws, Brad, TruthElixirX, Dream, and Gunshot all suggested "learning some HTML and hexcodes". It should be possible, easy in fact, to add colors to the palette.

If they are going to start saying that adding colors to JavaScript files is "unsupported", then I officially brand vBulletin tech support as LAZY.

Brinnie asks a lot of annoying questions, but adding colors to the color swatch palette in the Quick Editor and WYSIWYG editor is perfectly valid and should be built into vB.

Paul M was the first to show some maturity and identify where and how to modify the colors.

and it's easier to do than most of the template mods posted at vBulletin.com.

Now if I can just figure out how to ADD colors. Adding colors to that palette has strange results -- you get white boxes that do nothing. The 8 across and 5 down (40 total colors) limit is hard coded somewhere else and I have had no success overriding it.

And before anyone wants to flame me, I answer dozens of tech support questions at vBulletin a day.
