Description

Adds more colors to Google Calendar!

Adds more colors to Google Calendar's color selection menu.

HOW TO USE:
This extension adds the ability to insert custom colors into Google Calendar events. Upon installing the extension, you might need to refresh Google Calendar for it to load.

Once the extension has been installed, you can access the custom color creation by either right clicking events (accessing the color palette), or double clicking the event and accessing the other color palette within the advanced event details page.

You can verify that the extension has been installed properly by the existence of an additional circle in the color palette with a plus (+) sign. Clicking on this plus sign should prompt you to insert a custom color defined by a hexcode (For example, typing 000000 will give you the color black. One recommended place to find colors is https://htmlcolorcodes.com/). Pressing "OK" on the color entry prompt will add this custom color to your color palette for coloring events.

You can remove custom colors from your color palette by clicking on the extension icon in your browser's extension bar. This will open a small window where clicking on a color will remove it from the extension and your color palette.

NEW FEATURE: The window that was used for removing custom colors now contains a button to toggle between cloud and local mode. Originally, this extension only ran on cloud mode. This allowed your calendar colors to be synced across different computers and browsers. However, it also came with the limitation of max 512 events. Now, with the local mode, this limitation has been increased dramatically. Choose whichever option is better for you! You can toggle between the two as well, and they are managed independently.

Feedback greatly appreciated!

Note:
The colors are only available on the web version of Google Calendar.
The colors will only be consistent on one browser on a computer unless Google Chrome sync is enabled, in which case the colors will be tied to your Google Chrome profile.

Newest Update (1/7/2023):
Fix a lot of things.

This doesn't work. I added new colors to my palette, and when i tried to click the color I added, it changed the event to red instead of the color I clicked

000000 gives a red color, how do you make it do black. The idiot who designed this must be colorblind!

Works well when you add the first color but any additional colors you add will not make it to your calendar. It will add them to your dock of colors but just chose one of the google presets at random when you chose another color you've added. In theory great, but unfortunately does not deliver.
