I prefer taking requests here as I monitor Lemmy more frequently. To make sure I understand correctly, you want the gesture colors to use the same colors as the votes. Eg. if you set upvote to the red color, you'd also want the upvote gesture to also be red? I think this feature is extremely specific. I think maybe what might be a better solution is to allow you to (1) see the exact hex code in the color picker, (2) allow you to copy the hex code and (3) allow you to enter a hex code for a color. This way you can specify colors accurately and it's not too much work either.
I don't really want the gesture colors to reflect vote colors regardless of what I set it too. It's just that with vote colors you have an option to swap colors for them and I'm requesting the ability to swap colors of gesture colors for voting as well.
Your suggestion would be much more flexible/powerful and comfortable to use though as it's hard to get the wanted color correctly and repeat it as well. But what comes with it I assume there's more work for it?
I hope I'm clear now. :)
(Yesterday I converted someone into using this app and they love it a lot. Today I changed the text size for posts by accident when looking through the settings for something and it applied on the spot. I think it would be great to apply settings only when pressing "save settings" button or a way to revert settings to the previous ones you had maybe. The button sounds simpler. I was lucky to have a backup from sharing the settings with that person though.)
It's a bit more work but i think its the more sustainable and all encompassing solution so i think its worth it. Eg. Someone tomorrow can ask to be able to set the exact color because they want to match a theme and i might have to do thid anyways.
As for the save setting suggestion, ive gone back and forth on this topic before. I dont think there is a good answer here as i see both as valid. I think its probably more worthwhile to see if theres a way to prevent accidental changes to font size.
Wish you luck. I wish I could donate but I'm broke. lol
I'm promoting the app every chance I have though.
