This is a Discourse theme component that allows admin to change tag’s background color and text color. **[Repository Link](https://github.com/RailForWork/Discourse-Coloring-Tag)** `https://github.com/RailForWork/Discourse-Coloring-Tag` ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/0/3/038841938c3bd9054f9663e32f85ca75e9206671.png) ## Theme Settings 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). | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | 🛠 | **Repository** | [GitHub - RailForWork/Discourse-Coloring-Tag: This is a Discourse theme component that allows user to change their tag's background color and text color. · GitHub](https://github.com/RailForWork/Discourse-Coloring-Tag) | | ❓ | **Install Guide** | [How to install a theme or theme component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-do-i-install-a-theme-or-theme-component/63682) | | 📖 | **New to Discourse Themes?** | [Beginner’s guide to using Discourse Themes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-using-discourse-themes/91966) | ---

Thanks for pointing me this way Any plans of add support of images (like [https://fontawesome.com/](https://fontawesome.com/)) with a tag like tag\_name, image, background color, text color eg: apple, fa-apple, red, white ---

I think you can use emoji in your tags instead. ---

@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. ---

I second that request, would be happy to pay for such feature as well ---

There is small conflict’ish between this and [Tag icons](https://meta.discourse.org/t/tag-icons/109757) component. When this is in use icons will disappear. But not vice versa. ---

it’s compatible with [Colored Tag Styles](https://meta.discourse.org/t/colored-tag-styles/214871) 🙂 ---

Seems this component needs an update to work with the latest changes on tags: [Tags are replaced for a string](https://meta.discourse.org/t/tags-are-replaced-for-a-string/395112) ---

Just deactivated the component for that exact reason. ---
