Why global colors -vars are not linked inside color palettes?

every new color we add inside the color palette becomes a static hex value.

why?

default theme styles already have css variables those can be listed inside the all color palettes

we have the solution but not utilizing it they just not linked and we default down to static hex vals

Hey, I just had the same problem.

Right now it seems you can manipulate those variables via global class/var manager.

Add variable bricks-color-primary with hex code as value and it works.

I’m not a dev person, so I’m not sure if this is a proper solution, but it’s working right now!

I know but thats not a solution it is just a fix patch for the problem.

bricks default global vars should be connected inside the color palette from day one. thats my thinking.

I know this from my experience coding themes by hand creating global color vars and using them anywhere easily and we just need to setup default styles ones not multiple times.

anyone who makes professional websites for professional clients that has branding standard colors and fonts will understand what I am talking about.

Even I totally agree with you, it doesn’t make as it is today.
Just wanted to type it down so people like me could find a temporary solution for it!

its fine I am only thinking very long term industry standards and better workflows thats all.

It would be nice if the global vars, color picker, and style themes were all connected.

SNN Color Sync Variables, Bricks Builder Editor Settings Panel

This was one of my biggest complain about bricks builder. When you are working with professional clients they almost always have CI (Corporate Identity) Colors and they expect that colors are represented in their website properly.
Issue is when we create global default colors with Theme Styles setting those colors does not sync with the color palettes everywhere and we are not able to use the global colors with variables. So I decided to fix that issue with this feature.

When color variables are created with snn-brx all of those colors are accessible everywhere and all bricks color palettes shows these variables.

It is possible to add hex colors and any other valid css color units as well. Light and Dark color shades are possible as well. Set the shade count and this feature will auto generate the shades for you and show it on color palettes.

Bricks Team welcome to develop this. It is very easy for you guys. I would gladly deprecate this feature if that happens. We have theme styles, color palettes and variables but all of them are not connected.
