The only thing I can think of is to use a HTML tag to set the color and use Rich Text to display it. Glide doesn’t recommend HTML, but you can still use it. It just may stop working some day.
With my above comments, I was thinking something very basic, like creating a template column that would wrap a column value with a font tag. People have done CSS injection though a rich text component but it seems very hit or miss, at least for me. I’ve had CSS stop working for certain things. The inspect option in chrome lets you view and find div tab id’s for everything, but it’s it bit cryptic.
Again, it’s all at your own risk to use it as it’s not supported and can stop working.
Frequent discussion about this, but oddly no Feature Requests (at least that I could find in quick search) to enable color picker for text. I get that this could be a design disaster if misused, but I have the need to highlight certain texts in red for example, to show that there is an action pending. My personal choice is not to use too many workarounds but I will put a feature request in soon!
I have the app and I have used it. I don’t think it’s a very good experience. For one thing when you filter by date you can’t see any dates on any of the items anymore. I haven’t gotten around to mentioning this to Glide team and request that this be improved but will do so. I also think that given the direction that we can make requests here and there, voting and true interest as being diluted. There really should only be one place and if you are passionate enough to make the feature request, it should be in that specific place.
Yep. I did send a request once about improving the new feature request interface, process and tracibility - and I got an answer “this is the best we can do now”. I believe the turnover of features requests is slowing down lately as Glide team is overloaded with so many tasks in hand. Another example is it takes a much longer time now for someone to review a template requested to be submitted to store. So, My advise is you fill in both until a better process/interface is shared with community by Glide Team.
I would definitely like to see more design functionality in the future. A lot of apps begin to look the same after awhile, unless you work in some creative hacks. Although I’m all for them prioritizing the background functionality.
To echo further on @Jeff_Hager’s remark, Glide’s first impression of use is “simplicity”. It’s super fast to get an App up & running in no time (once you get the hang of it). However, such snappy Apps are OK if used internally as no one within the house would care about the look of things as long as it’s doing the job. If, however, an App is to be presented to the world and we are beyond “simple snappy Apps”, specifically from both Complexity, U/X efficiency, Looks & Feel/Themes, Data maintenance, etc. . I am not sure how Glide intend to address this and how backward compatible would the future Glide be to current sum of existing Apps. Be interested to hear out Glide’s team input on this when they have the time.
Nice one: it still works. The label is now on the same row as data, with data in blue text. Plus as a bonus, I’ve got the dates in DD MMMM YYYY format.
