Hi,
I’ve created a bunch of standard text styles as a library (from our SketchCloud library files) in the Components view under Text styles.
These are all based font size, weight and color.
The color is the issue.
We use a separate library that defines our product color palette called Color styles
In the text library file - the font colors are defined using our custom palette ‘Color styles’
The problem is.. the font styles are all defined using our Color style palette.
When working on a Sketch file , I use the ‘Inspector > Appearance’ drop down that lists all the Text styles.
Really handy for applying styles quickly to fonts.
It applies the the correct color as it was originally set in the library file ..BUT..
Every time I need to change the color of the font - when I open the ‘Inspector>Color picker menu’ - it doesn’t have any color style library attached to it.
So I have to click the drop down and select our Color Style from the list and then find the color from our list.
It gets tedious having to do this over and over.
Is there a way of making our color palette style ‘stick’ to the ‘text styles’ so I don’t have to keep specifying it everytime?
I just realized.. do the text styles have to be defined in the same library file as the color styles - in order to pick up the defined palette? .. no joy - I tried and still the same behaviour.
