dotnet add package CasualDev.ColorLib --version 1.2.1

Description & Syntax

CasualDev.ColorLib adds a hex struct that can be referenced like any regular data type. This contains:

  • Hex.Blend() which blends two colors together, with a given alpha, returning a mix of these colors as a hex data type.
  • Hex.Lighten() which lightens a color, returning a lighter color as a hex data type.
  • Hex.Darken() which darkens a color, returning a darker color as a hex data type.
  • Hex.SetTextColor() which sets the color of the following text.
  • Hex.SetBackgroundColor() which sets the background color of the following text.
  • Hex.Reset() which resets all color setting configurations and resets the text back to plain white.
  • Hex.ToString() which returns the hex in string representation for display of hexadecimal codes.

The syntax for declaring types of hex and using them are as follows:

using CasualDev.ColorLib;

namespace TestApplication
{
  class Program
  {
    Hex red = 0xFF0000;
    red.SetTextColor();
    Console.WriteLine($"The color of this text is {red.ToString()}!");

    Hex.Reset();
  }
}

Version & Patch Notes

Version 1.2.1 is a "minor and patch" type update.

The following is updated and/or fixed:

  • "hex" struct renamed to "Hex"
  • Hex.Blend() updated to blend with increased accuracy
