Color plugin - balloon tips

#1

Hi All,

Does anybody know is available plugin for Sublime Text if you over hover cursor over #FFFFFF in CSS file it show balloon tip with small rectangle in appropriated color (this case “white”)? It is same functionality like in Firebug. I completely do not know Python so have no ideas is it possible write it using Sublime Text API. What you think about it?

Best wishes

That’s not possible at the moment. However there are a few alternatives:

github.com/a-sk/livecss
github.com/weslly/ColorPicker

Thank you, I am using ColorPicker now.
After your post I tried “livecss” but it making many errors with Rhuk color scheme so I need uninstall it.

LiveCSS seems to be the best match for your purposes, but it’s somewhat bitchy in a few cases and it will take some time to rewrite it.

Sadly popups are not available with the current API and hovering it also not detected.
