I have been a professional software engineer for 40 years and am also an astrophysicist who develops apps related to my scientific work. First I would like to say that I am impressed with the range of functionality offered by Thunkable. That said, I am running into situations where fundamental fea…

it looks like you are assuming, that App Inventor can only create 15 colors using the colors block? no: you can create all colors, see the screenshot below as example let’s create color aquamarine [image] and you also can use just an integer value, in the example the value -8388652 or 428657864…

por favor define un color en el panel de propiedades que este por fuera de los 15 que se visualizan

[image] Andres_Cotes: por favor define un color en el panel de propiedades que este por fuera de los 15 que se visualizan you will have to do this in the blocks editor someone else also might want so say something about using colors in App Inventor… @Italo ? @Mark ? @Boban_Stojmenovic ? do o…

es correcto ese es es el punto falta mejorar eso, por eso existe la extension resume un estandar mas amplio

esto es un ejemplo con 6 colores cual se ve mejor ??? [image]

Looks like the initial color palette in the designer was made so students can easily select one of the basic colors, not for programmers to have a wide range of professional looking colors available at one click. People tend to forget what App Inventor really is. If you want to use colors in HEX, W…

I disagree completely, I’m actually an aspx and vb.net programmer and I just doesn’t have the time to learn another language needed in this case, so I use app inventor because it’s simple and more or less powerful for my needs. What Andres created is not simply doable with blocks. I mean, I already…

@gabryk If you disagree with me or not, or if you have time or not to learn a programming language doesn’t change the fact that the App Inventor project is an educational tool to teach people how to code. Period. I never said you can’t use/make some extension that can be done with blocks. By all mea…
