The Discourse Coloring Tag component, introduced by tachibanalolo, allows administrators to customize tag background and text colors via comma-delimited settings (e.g., Tag Name,Background Color,Text Color). While the component offers visual customization, users have raised several concerns and feature requests. frold requested support for icons (e.g., FontAwesome) within tags, but tachibanalolo suggested using emojis instead, a response frold found unsatisfactory. mattdm and jrgong proposed a feature to apply color settings to entire tag groups automatically, rather than individually, to streamline management for new tags. Compatibility issues were also highlighted: Jagster noted a conflict where this component causes icons from the Tag icons component to disappear. Additionally, Ivan_Rapekas confirmed compatibility with colored-tag-styles. However, Moin and Campano reported that the component is currently broken due to recent core changes in how tags are rendered, leading sam to add a #broken tag to the discussion.
Comma delimited in this order: Tag Name,Background Color,Text Color. Tag Name: What your Tag Name is. Background Color: Background Color of the tag. Text Color: Decide the text color in the tag.
A correct example for settings will be: [Theme-component,#ffffff,black.]
(Both Background color and text color can be either HEX color (#ffffff) or color name (black).
@tachibanalolo I have a feature request for your consideration.
Would it be possible to make a setting which applies to whole tag groups rather than individually? That way, each tag group could be easily distinguished without having to spend a lot of time mapping each one, and when new tags are added they’d automatically get colorized rather than needing to be added separately.
