Ok, I understand there isn’t space for different opinions. ---

@Andres_Cotes thanks for the link… which means, we will get a custom color to select any color in the designer… great! see also > **[Blog post: Increasing minSdk](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dF1TgkbSgqs7nRFK7gtKRZY4sInRR5_uTagRCB0dWYE/edit)** > > Blog Post Hello App Inventors! We’re so glad you’re with us! We wanted to let you know that we are making some big changes to MIT App Inventor.

That is a great addition indeed. But it doesn’t mean App Inventor changed its color notation to hex at all. In the blocks, at least for now, you specify colors either by placing a color block or make it with the rgba values. Which makes me think: They should have added the rgb textboxes in the colorpicker too. New users will always find the rgb notation way easier than hex. ---

Hi @Andres_Cotes, I don’t understand, what you want us to tell concerning your graphic, you already showed it to us… you should follow the App Inventor design decisions and philosophies… which means, in the designer use the color blocks to assign colors in the blocks editor use color blocks or the make color block or an integer value and as soon as the new custom color feature is available, we also should be able to use the custom color in the designer for your extensions don’t use hex values, instead please use the existing philosophy!

hola @Taifun , @Italo mensiona > Cita > But it doesn’t mean App Inventor changed its color notation to hex at all. le muestro el grafico por que yo no quise cambiar la notación de color de inventor solo los bloques que facilitaban esa conversión por eso muestro el gráfico nuevamente para que visualice @Italo las entradas y salidas. y por supuesto es una mejora y en el momento que liberen el codigo hare la actualizacion para ya el color lo defina no un String si no la paleta de color que desarrollaron el equipo Principal de inventor. saludos Andres ---

Hi, how are you? I can not send you a private message so I write here. My name is Ricardo Soares, I am writing to ask for the creation of an extension that returns the value of the intensity of the sound picked up by the microphone. At all times the extension would be reading the audio input and returning the received sound level. A kind of VU metter, but I’ll use it in another feature. Summarizing: When you add the extension, it reads the audio input of the cell phone and returns the value read on a scale of 0 (zero) to 1000. In addition this extension must contain a block to define the sample time in millisecond. For example, I set the read frequency of the microphone input. from 1 to 100ms. Could you do this? What is the cost for this creation? How soon would it be ready? Thank you. I await your reply. Ricardo Soares. My email: [ricintiaf@gmail.com](mailto:ricintiaf@gmail.com) ---
