Story

What is that hex color? 🤔

All my apps use hex color now. But when browsing the source code, it's hard to know which color it is, I normally need an app or go to Chrome to checkout the color, I want to do that within Xcode

That's why I made XcodeColorSense, which shows us the color for a particular hex or rgb color. But from Xcode 8+ it is not possible to have Xcode plugin.

So this is my 2nd attempt to make that available in Xcode, through Xcode Source Editor Extension. I used Farge to find name of a hex color

I want to use framework in the extension, but Xcode keeps complaining about that http://stackoverflow.com/questions/43673353/how-to-use-framework-in-xcode-source-editor-extension

I use GifCapture to capture the gif. Here I use key binding Cmd+Ctrl+S to toggle color info

How to install

• Follow my tutorial here Install Xcode 8 Source Editor Extension
• Use the built binary https://github.com/onmyway133/XcodeColorSense2/releases

How to use

• Color Sense is available in Editor -> Color Sense -> Color Sense. Click it to show color name, click it again to hide color name

• Use key binding to make it more convenient
